Leo XIV Appoints Bishop Who Presided over Homosexual Eucharist
In February 2019, Francis had appointed him Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Mexico City. He also served as Vicar General of the Archdiocese.
The Case of Rev. Olvera Delgadillo
In June 2022, the Catholic priest Juan de Dios Olvera Delgadillo was temporarily suspended after signing the declaration Mater Veritatis Salutaris, which criticized certain teachings of Pope Francis on adultery and homosexuality.
The unjust punishment was imposed by the vicar general, Monsignor González Morales.
In a 2023 follow-up interview, Rev. Olvera Delgadillo added that he had been removed from his post at the Basilica of Guadalupe, yet has received neither a formal canonical sentence nor proper due process.
Celebration of a Homosexual Eucharist
In October 2024, Monsignor González Morales presided over a homosexual Eucharist (pictured).
According to a report from the Colectivo Teresa de Cepeda y Ahumada, the Bishop presided over the Eucharist for the group’s tenth anniversary. During the event, he affirmed the archdiocese’s commitment to being a “safe place for any member of the Church, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.”
The Colectivo is a center dedicated since 2014 to the accompaniment of homosexuals and to "promoting queer- and feminist-inspired theological reflection". It identifies itself as critical of patriarchal and hierarchical systems.
Apparatschik and Power Broker
Journalist Guillermo Gazanini Espinoza has, for years, published highly critical articles on ReligionDigital.org and InfoVaticana.com about Monsignor González Morales. He portrays him as a loyal enforcer for Cardinal Aguiar, while simultaneously consolidating power into his own hands—bureaucratic, authoritarian, politically interested.
The operative description is: “While Aguiar governs outwardly, González Morales governs inwardly.”
The other five auxiliary bishops of Mexico City are, in terms of influence, pushed aside.
Election Interference Concerns
In April 2024, Vicar General González Morales warned his clergy, ahead of federal elections, to refrain from exerting influence on voting.
However, priests close to governing politicians promoted particular candidates without facing repercussions.
Sacraments for the Divorced and Remarried
In July 2024, Vicar General González Morales co-signed a document regarding “brothers and sisters who are divorced and remarried,” stating that adulterers may, in the usual "individual cases", be admitted to the sacraments.
