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.
