Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of a 59-year-old bishop in the pontiff's native Argentina, after the bishop had only been in position for just under two years leading an already troubled diocese.
Bishop Carlos María Domínguez of the San Rafael diocese said his resignation on 13 February was “for reasons of a personal nature”, while he did not offer any further specifics regarding those reasons.
“I want to ask for forgiveness for what I did wrong, for what I didn’t do and for what I didn’t know how to do,” Domínguez said in a communiqué, though, again, he offered no further details.
