One of the issues that we suspect Archbishop Jimenez will want to quietly disappear is the case of NEOCAT Fr. (?) Luis Camacho.
On Dec. 11, 2025, Archbishop Jimenez announced that Camacho "was found guilty of delicta graviora and dismissed from the clerical state."
Four days later, on Dec. 15, 2025, Jimenez announced that "Camacho was exercising his right to appeal to the Vatican within 60 days, meaning he was not yet permanently laicized pending appeal."
True, the Vatican moves slowly; however, Jimenez still owes us an update on the matter, even if there is none.
Following is JW's full Luis Camacho file - in case Jimenez is missing anything.
