In 2014, Pope Francis dismissed the diocese's bishop, Rogelio Ricardo Livieres Plano, due to Livieres's alleged promotion of a diocesan priest who had been accused of the sexual abuse of a minor while serving in the United States.[2] Livieres was then barred from presiding at public celebrations of the Mass. Since then, accusations of major financial mismanagement of the finances of the diocese by Livieres have also surfaced, with the diocese reportedly close to a million United States dollars in debt.[3]
