Leonardo Morizio Domínguez was an Argentine former Roman Catholic priest who was the first archbishop and primate of the Argentine Catholic Apostolic Church (ICAA), an independent Catholic Church in Argentina.

Biography

Morizio was born in Argentina, converted to Catholicism from Judaism, and was ordained a Roman Catholic priest. He was a military chaplain during the 1960s but came to disagree with the position of the Vatican, and so sought consecration from Bishops of the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church (ICAB) and then set up a similar organization in Argentina.[1]

Morizio separated from the Catholic Church and founded ICAA c. 1971 in Buenos Aires. He was consecrated as archbishop and primate in 1972 by Luigi Mascolo, an ICAB bishop. Morizio later consecrated Pedro Ruiz Badanelli as bishop in 1973 and José Eugenio Tenca Rusconi as bishop in 1983.[2]

Morizio was associated with Peronism and José López Rega's attempt to create a national church of Argentina.[3]
