Public unrest over the investigation of church violence is causing a wind of change in the church Staff Spanish Catholic. Next Wednesday, the Secretary General and Speaker of the Episcopal Conference, Luis Arguello, will take the cardinals to a meeting with Pope Francis, where, among other things, the episcopal leadership will present a report on the case to the Pederasty of Rome. In episcopal circles it is perceived almost as a farewell to Arguello, who was noted for his interference in the abuse of minors and who could soon relinquish his responsibility to the Catholic Church.
The Spanish delegation will arrive in the Vatican with demands made by the victims of pederasty made by the President of the Episcopal Conference and Cardinal Juan Jose omela of Barcelona, who were heard at a meeting almost two weeks ago.
As elDiario.es has learned, an auxiliary bishop of Valladolid will be appointed, presumably to succeed Cardinal Blasquez as head of the diocese of Pusel .n. Blasquez, who turns 80 on April 13, has exceeded the deadline given by the Pope by five by five, and his departure is officially scheduled for the coming days. If it appears that Arguello will be elected, he could announce his resignation at the next plenary session of the bishops, which will be held in late April, one year before the end of his term.
If Arguello is appointed head of the diocese – Valladolid or any other diocese, he will “very seriously” consider relinquishing his positions of responsibility at Calle de Añastro’s headquarters, as his entourage confirmed to elDiario.es. They also add that it is unlikely that the appointment will be formalized before Easter, which means that Arguello will not take office until the spring. This will make it impossible to submit a resignation to the Plenary Session of the Bishops on April 25th. Best for the heir is Cesar Garcia Magan, Auxiliary Bishop of Toledo.
“This is the plenary who elected him and the plenary should accept his possible resignation,” they confirm, pointing to the only known precedent to date was the resignation of Fernando Sebastian in 1988, when he was appointed. Co-Assistant to the Archbishop of Granada.
Arguello’s formal promotion is interpreted as a classic blow from Rome, which rewards Arguello’s work by promoting him to a very difficult stage as a bishop, but at the same time limits the desire of many to place him in the pool of names. Instead of Osorro or Canizares in Madrid and Valencia. And that’s the fact that Arguello’s meteoric career has slowed down with horrific management of violence cases, consistent course changes, and a few slip-ups at several press conferences.
Be that as it may (and when), Arguello will leave his successor several fronts. Both externally: victim treatment, the church’s participation in the Gabonese Commission, the role of the Cremades law firm in the Catholic investigation, or, in other areas, the difficult relationship with Pedro Sanchez’s government, as well as internally: a continuous power struggle between two and even three sectors fighting for control of the church. Arguello, a man of hearing and reflection, tried to reconcile fatigue, without much success, with opposing extremes. It is hoped that with his departure, his successor will be able to change teams.
Another result of Arguello’s possible departure is the confirmation that there will be no bloc of Spanish cardinals. After the departure of Blasquez, many believed that this would happen at the time of Osoros and Canizares at least. Whatever the facts deny, at least in the case of the cardinals of Madrid and Barcelona, who, except in the event of a great catastrophe or scandal, remain in office, at least until the end of their term at the head of the episcopal conference. In the spring of 2024. This is not the case with Canizares, who also visited Francisco on the same Friday. Some sources say it was a farewell.
