Diplomatic career

[edit | edit source]

To prepare for a diplomatic career, he entered the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy in 1980.[1] He joined the diplomatic service of the Holy See on 1 May 1984.[2]

On 4 December 2001, Pope John Paul II appointed him Apostolic Delegate to Mauritania and Apostolic Nuncio to Senegal, at the same time naming him titular archbishop of Anglona.[2] On 5 February 2002, he was also appointed Apostolic Nuncio to Cape Verde and Mali.[3] On 5 March he was appointed Nuncio to Guinea-Bissau.[4]

Pope Benedict XVI appointed him Apostolic Nuncio to Chile on 6 December 2007.[5]

On 10 May 2011, he was appointed Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines.[6]

On 1 July 2017, Pope Francis appointed him as Apostolic Nuncio to Croatia.[7]

In 2018, a lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Santiago made public an email message written to Pinto in 2009 by Archbishop Francisco Javier Errázuriz, in which Errázuriz admitted to Pinto that had not followed the proper procedures for handling allegations of sexual abuse against Fernando Karadima, a priest at the centre of the sex abuse crisis in Chile.[8]

He was replaced in Croatia in 2019,[9] and Pope Francis accepted his resignation as nuncio on 31 July 2020.[10]
