Rafael Zornoza

politician Spain

Rafael Zornoza, born in 1949 in Madrid, is the current bishop of Cádiz and Ceuta. He has recently come under investigation by the Vatican for allegations of sexual abuse against a minor during the 1990s, when he was a priest in Getafe and director of the diocesan seminary. This case marks a significant moment as it is the first known instance in Spain where a bishop is being investigated canonically for a charge of pedophilia. Zornoza has held various positions within the Catholic Church, including bishop auxiliary of Getafe, and has been involved in youth pastoral work and education within the Church. His tenure has faced scrutiny regarding the management of abuse cases in his diocese.
