Curial official transferred to Spanish archdiocese
October 08, 2014
The Holy See Press Office has announced that Pope Francis has transferred the secretary of the Congregation for the Clergy to a Spanish archdiocese.
Archbishop Celso Morga Iruzubieta, 66, is now the coadjutor archbishop of Mérida-Badajoz.
The prelate was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Calahorra y La Calzada-Logroño in 1972. Fifteen years later, he began to work in the offices of the Congregation for the Clergy, and Pope Benedict named him the dicastery’s secretary in 2010.
In addition, two weeks after removing a Paraguayan bishop of Opus Dei from office, Pope Francis has named Father Levi Bonatto, a Brazilian priest of Opus Dei, as an auxiliary bishop.
