CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Gustavo Zanchetta, who had been living under house arrest in Argentina since his 2022 conviction for sexual abuse, was granted permission to travel to Rome last year for medical treatment, with a deadline to return to Argentina by the end of March. Writing in The Pillar, Edgar Beltran reports that there is no indication Bishop Zanchetta has returned.
(Bishop Zanchetta was the focus of a special 7-part CWN investigation, “The Zanchetta Affair,” which detailed efforts by the Vatican, and by Pope Francis personally, to shield the Argentine prelate from prosecution.)
