The faithful close the parish of the Sagrada Familia of San Sebastian to denounce the decisions of Munilla

  • The faithful accuse the bishop of Donostia-San Sebastian, José Ignacio Munilla, of selling to the tourism sector the lands of the Church and of moving to the parish priest of the Sagrada Familia.

On Sunday morning a group of faithful closed the parish of the Sagrada Familia of the Donostia district of Amara to denounce the "nepotism" of Munilla. Along with the lock, they have left a note denouncing the treatment that Martin's pastor is receiving. Martin was with the parishioners, saying that he had moved him through revenge. Martin has always been critical of the decisions of Munilla, who last week moved him to a parish of Irun to accompany him in his work as pastor.

MARTIN, who has not accepted the transfer, has announced that he will continue in the parish of Amara. The faithful closed the church with lock, but Munilla sent a group of locksmith to remove the lock and change the lock. According to the believers who closed the church, Munilla is taking advantage of San Sebastian’s tourist potential to do business, while in other places they offer beds for those who do not have a home. In addition, on the transfer of Martin, they pointed out the following: “We are not prepared to accept further humiliations and disrespect,” they say.

“Martin has come here and will not leave the parish. They want to move from pastor to assistant. That's called punishment. He does not accept being punished and will stay here,” they said. Munilla changed the lock without warning and handed the keys to the new eyelids.

Munilla Stores

In recent years José Ignacio Munilla has carried out several transactions, especially of land and property. Last year, for example, Munilla turned the diocesan curia into an “aparthotel” of 26 rooms. According to the faithful, Munilla now intends to sell the parish of the Sagrada Familia de Amara to the City Hall of Donostia-San Sebastián to create a music school.

On the other hand, Munilla wants to sell to the tourism sector his house and that of other parishes who have gone to live in the Seminary. To denounce all these housing movements, a group of faithful concentrated in front of the Cathedral of San Sebastian.
