Brazilian Bishop Resigns At 62

Francis accepted on November 1 the resignation of Catanduva Bishop Valdir Mamede, 62, Brazil.

In an obscure article, Metropoles.com (November 2) says Mamede was asked to resign because of an involvement "in cases of harassment" or "allegations of moral and sexual harassment against priests and seminarians" or "covering up crimes by other priests within the Church."

In March, Mamede ordered all 34 parish priests to help paying for a fine of R$500,000 ($100K) imposed on Father Osvaldo Donizete da Silva (Father Barrinha). The money was for a victim of sexual abuse dating back to 2013.

These accusations of sexual abuse are very dangerous, it's very easy to make false accusations in this matter.

Maybe it's the case of another homo bishop . The next Pope coming soon should fire ALL of the Bergoglio staff in the Vatican, and all his bishops he appointed.
