Newly-elected Cardinal Gérald Cyprien Lacroix attends a mass in the St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, Sunday, Feb. 23, 2014. Pope Francis has given a sort of code of conduct to new cardinals, the select group of churchmen who advise him, help shape policy and elect new pontiffs.

A retired judge appointed by the Pope to investigate allegations of sexual assault against Cardinal Gérald Cyprien Lacroix, the Archbishop of Quebec, found that there was no misconduct. André Denis will issue a statement summarizing the details of his investigation and answer questions Tuesday at 10 a.m.The investigation ordered by the Pope was not to determine guilt, but rather to evaluate whether Cardinal Gérald Lacroix should face a canonical trial, conducted by the church.

The Vatican said in a statement published Tuesday that it is not planning "further canonical procedure." Denis said the purpose of the canonical investigation was to assess whether the allegations are substantial enough to warrant a canonical trial, which is conducted by the church. The investigation was not meant to determine whether Lacroix is guilty.The alleged incidents involving Lacroix took place between 1987 and 1988 in Quebec City when the plaintiff was 17. Lacroix is accused of touching her without her consent.
