Nun
OpenLife Nigeria reports that a Num , Lawyer and others in love with a Bishop engaged in a free for all fight.
According to the story, the Peruvian bishop, Ciro Quispe López, 51, has resigned after being accused of having 17 secret mistresses.
López was the bishop of Juli in Peru, a respected position in the Catholic Church. His resignation came after a Vatican investigation revealed the women nearly fought each other when they found out about his affairs.
Paola Ugaz, a Peruvian journalist, said in an interview with The Times, “A nun who was one of Quispe’s lovers was jealous of a lawyer the bishop was also seeing and sent information about his affairs to a third lover who got into a fight with the lawyer.”
Ugaz added, “It was a real soap opera but also lifted the lid on a serious abuse of power. Many of the 17 women were too scared to come forward because they were frightened of him”, as mentioned in the report by DailyMail.
Bishop’s secret affairs exposed by cleaning lady
López reportedly got exposed after accidentally sending photos and videos meant for his mistresses to his cleaning lady, who then complained to the Church. The Vatican investigated the case by going through voice notes, photos, and videos López had sent to his 17 mistresses.
Vatican probe and financial scandal
Despite the accusations, López denies everything, calling it a defamation campaign by “dark hands”. López was also under investigation for allegedly embezzling church funds.
He is accused of taking chairs from church property to use in a
chicken restaurant chain called Patas Arriba (“upside down” or literally “legs in the air”), in which he had a financial interest, as stated in the report by DailyMail.
The Vatican accepted his resignation early last month, over 20 years before bishops usually retire at age 75. The scandal has drawn attention to abuse of power and secret affairs within the Church in Peru.
