Ciro Quispe López, who was a respected figure within the Catholic Church, got into trouble after a Vatican investigation revealed that his mistresses nearly came to blows upon discovering each other’s existence.
A journalist shared more details during an interview with The Times.
She explained that one of the bishop’s alleged lovers, a nun, became jealous of his other lover, a lawyer.
The nun reportedly leaked information about the bishop’s multiple relationships to a third woman, leading to a confrontation between the lawyer and the other mistress.
“This was like a soap opera,” the journalist stated, adding that the situation revealed a deeper issue of abuse of power.
“Many of the women were too frightened to speak out due to fear of him,” she continued.
According to a Daily Mail report, the women involved in these affairs were largely too intimidated to come forward with their stories until the truth began to unravel.
How were Ciro Quispe López‘s affairs exposed?
The servant of God’s secret life was revealed to chuch after a mishap involving his cleaning lady.
The 51-year-old bishop mistakenly sent photos and videos intended for his mistresses to her.
Disturbed by the discovery, the cleaning lady reported the incident to the Church, prompting an internal investigation by the Vatican.

Upon examining voice notes, photos, and videos that López had sent to the women, the Vatican launched a full inquiry into the allegations.
Despite the overwhelming evidence, López denied the accusations, calling them part of a defamation campaign orchestrated by “dark hands.”
Ongoing scandal and financial allegations
López’s resignation is not just a personal scandal but has also raised questions about possible financial misconduct.
While López’s personal life has dominated headlines, the full extent of the investigation, which includes financial irregularities, is still unfolding.
The Vatican’s ongoing scrutiny aims to uncover whether there were any financial misappropriations related to his actions, adding another layer of complexity to the case.
His controversial story ignited mixed reactions on social media, with some suggesting Catholic priests be allowed to marry.
Catholic suspends priest over secret marriage
Previously, a bishop was suspended from his priestly duties by the Catholic diocese following allegations of his marriage.
The marriage reportedly took place at the Streams of Joy Church in the USA. Footage of the event, which went viral on social media, prompted the church to take action.
According to the statement, before the marriage, the bishop had requested to be released from the canonical obligations associated with his priestly vows.
However, he went ahead with the marriage without completing the necessary procedures, violating church law.
