CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Angel Pérez Pueyo of Barbastro, Spain, has threatened to resign if the Vatican does not support his claim to control of the administration of the shrine of Our Lady of Torreciudad.

The shrine has been administered by Opus Dei, whose leaders have declined to relinquish control to the bishop unless instructed to do so by the Vatican.
