Ecuadorian bishops say corruption claims without foundation after double-resignations in diocese – Catholic World Report

Riobamba, Ecuador, Apr 29, 2021 / 19:01 pm America/Denver (CNA). The Ecuadorian bishops have rejected claims that corruption was behind the unusual simultaneous resignation of a bishop and his presumptive successor. They said “false rumors” about the resignations aimed to discredit the Catholic Church’s pastoral work. In reality, they said, Bishop Julio Parrilla Díaz of Riobamba resigned because of health reasons and because he had turned 75, the age established by canon law for bishops to submit their resignation. For his part, Coadjutor Bishop-designate Fr. Gerardo Nieves Loja, 57, resigned for personal reasons, the Ecuadorian Bishops’ Conference said in an April 28 statement titled “Debunking Falsehoods.”

By Junno Arocho Esteves • Catholic News Service • Posted April 29, 2021 (CNS) The Ecuadorian bishops’ conference dismissed reports concerning the resignation of the bishop and coadjutor of the Diocese of Riobamba as “falsehoods” and “ideological prejudices.” The Vatican announced April 28 that Pope Francis accepted the resignation of Bishop Julio Parrilla Díaz of Riobamba and his coadjutor, Msgr. Gerardo Miguel Nieves Loja, several months after Julia Serrano, a Spanish lay missionary in the diocese, accused both prelates of financial malfeasance and “moral failings.” The statement signed by Archbishop Luis Cabrera of Guayaquil, president of the Ecuadorian bishops’ conference, Archbishop Alfredo Espinoza of Quito, vice president, and Quito Auxiliary Bishop David de la Torre, secretary-general, said Bishop Parrilla’s resignation was submitted when he turned 75, the age at which canon law requires bishops to submit their resignation to the pope.

Pope Francis ousts leadership of Ecuadorian diocese amid complaints Follow Us Question of the Day By Nicole Winfield - Associated Press - Wednesday, April 28, 2021 ROME (AP) Pope Francis responded Wednesday to reports of poor governance and moral failings in the Ecuadorian diocese of Riobamba by not only accepting the resignation of the retiring bishop but that of his heir apparent as well. Francis on Wednesday accepted the resignations of Bishop Julio Parrilla Diaz, who turned 75 last month, and his deputy, Monsignor Gerardo Miguel Nieves Loja, 53. Nieves had been named “coadjutor bishop” for Riobamba last year and was due to be consecrated bishop in February, to take over when Parrilla retired at 75, the normal retirement age for bishops. But Nieves offered his resignation to Francis a week before the ceremony.
