Vatican Investigates Spanish Bishop's Abuse Allegations

The Vatican is considering the resignation of Bishop Rafael Zornoza, who is under investigation for alleged abuse of a young seminarian in the nineteen nineties. This is the first public church inquiry into a Spanish bishop accused of abuse. The accusations, reported by El País, claim abuse occurred between ages fourteen and twenty-one. Zornoza, seventy-six, has temporarily suspended duties due to cancer and is cooperating with the investigation. Archbishop Argüello García emphasized the importance of both victims right to come forward and the right to presumption of innocence. The situation reflects a broader reckoning within the Spanish Catholic Church regarding decades of abuse and cover-ups.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
