Rogelio Cruz \/ El Nuevo Diario<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The priest who is based in La Vega says his bosses are being pressed by influential mining sector persons. Cruz has opposed start of new mining operations in several communities.<\/p>\n

Now, a report in Listin Diario reveals paternity reports and birth declarations made by Cruz. The special report by Ruddy L. Gonz\u00e1lez for List\u00edn Diario, establishes that in several civil registration offices there are several birth declarations in favor of several children in which the priest appears as \u201cbiological father\u201d in addition to declaring the birth.<\/p>\n

This would not be a first, as other priests in the past, including Belgian priest Pierre Ruquoy, have been known to have declared several children in the border area for humanitarian reasons in order to expedite the legalizing of their status.<\/p>\n

Gonz\u00e1lez reports that in a correspondence dated 15 January 2017 sent to Father Cruz by Father Francisco Batista, superior inspector of the Salesian Order, makes the point of the birth declarations. Also mentioned are other disciplinary issues related to the Fundaci\u00f3n Padre Rogelio Cruz, absences from his religious commitments and to requests made by the inspector general office and related to remarks made by the priest that are said to be contrary to the church doctrine.<\/p>\n
