Overview
- The October 12 weekly bulletin from Nuestra Señora de los Infantes mistakenly attached an internal letter intended for the Cardinal Prefect of the Dicastery for the Clergy.
- The document details an investigation into a retired canon of Toledo Cathedral, a former teacher and parish priest, found to have engaged in inappropriate sexualized conduct.
- Sanctions imposed include a two‑year ban on celebrating public Mass, preaching and administering certain sacraments, withdrawal of confession faculties, and mandatory therapeutic and spiritual accompaniment.
- Alleged incidents cited occurred in physiotherapy clinics in summer 2023 and during a 2024 pilgrimage to Medjugorje, with earlier police inquiries into a suggested extortion yielding no formal report or further action.
- School leaders and the Archdiocese of Toledo issued apologies, asked recipients to delete the email, stated the conduct did not involve the school or its students, and the letter notes ongoing reports despite restrictions and a medical finding of orbitofrontal cortex damage.
