In an interview with ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language sister news agency, the vicar general of the Diocese of Almería, Father Ignacio López Román, considered that de Amo’s statements “were made at one time, in a political context, and now he’s in another context and in another time.”
“Now he’s the bishop’s delegate for university ministry and these statements don’t have to do with being a delegate of the bishop, they have to do with a person who at one time was a member of a political party” who made the statements “within political criticism,” he said.
The vicar general also considered that, in any case, “they don’t affect his new task and his new mission,” which would have been different if he had said these things after his appointment by the bishop.
“If he made those statements now, that would be something else. But if he did them in the political fray, it’s within his role as a politician, which he has already ended,” López said.
As stated in the Vox press release, de Amo allegedly used a vulgarity in reference to the leaders of Vox. He also added: “We will continue without really fighting these human scoundrels who are so successful among bar patrons and sleepy voters.”
For Vox, the appointee for culture “has disrespected his voters” by despising a party that, they say, “represents Catholic values at all costs.”
