The Bishops' Conference of Argentina announced its new leadership on November 12. The president is Archbishop Marcelo Colombo of Mendoza. He is considered to be an educated man, but he is a pure politician. The two vice-presidents are Cardinal Sixto Rossi of Córdoba and Bishop César Fernández of Jujuy.
Caminante-Wanderer.blogspot.com gives details. At the time of the election of the new president, all the bishops knew that Francis had "synodically" dictated that Monsignor Colombo should be elected.
However, by far the most votes were cast for Bishop Cesar Fernández.
Francis' faction "did not see it coming" and "went crazy". They pressured and threatened. Therefore, Monsignor Fernández withdrew his candidacy for the sake of "peace". This is how Archbishop Colombo was finally elected.
Probably one of the reasons for the rebellion is that the bishops are tired of being subjected to the mafias that depend on Santa Marta.
