CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis has promptly accepted the resignation of Opus Dei Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani Thorne, 75, as archbishop of Peru’s leading archdiocese, and has appointed Father Carlos Gustavo Castillo Mattasoglio, 68, a theologian at the Pontifical Catholic University in Peru, which which Cardinal Cipriani has clashed.
