Pope Francis dismisses Borongan priest due to alleged sex abuse
Pope Francis expels Father Pio Aclon, best known as a Mediatrix devotee, ‘for sexual abuse involving minors,’ says the news service of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines
MANILA, Philippines – Pope Francis has dismissed from the priesthood Father Pio Aclon of Borongan, Eastern Samar, for alleged sex abuse, the news service of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) reported on Sunday, September 17.
The Pope expelled Aclon “for sexual abuse involving minors,” said CBCP News, which noted that Aclon “last served at a minor seminary in Borongan before the diocese suspended him from his clerical duties.”
Earlier on Sunday, the Diocese of Borongan released a July 18 announcement that stated: “Notice is hereby given that the Holy Father Pope Francis has dismissed from the clerical state PIO CULTURA ACLON of the Diocese of Borongan. He is, therefore, no longer a cleric and cannot exercise priestly ministry in the Church.”
Protect your homies man! So they can screw more innocent lives. This nice for righteous religious bastards nothing new.
