MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A priest at a southwest Miami-Dade County Catholic church has resigned because of a second allegation involving “a serious boundary violation” with a woman, the Archdiocese of Miami announced Sunday.
Father Cristobal de Paola, the pastor at St. Joachim Catholic Church, had been on administrative leave for the last three months while the archdiocese investigated the allegation. He was also placed on leave in October 2016 because of the same allegation, Archbishop Thomas Wenski said in a statement.
