Colombian Roman Catholic prelate
born Nov. 8, 1935, Villahermosa, Colom.
died April 19, 2008, Rome, Italy
exerted enormous influence as a conservative leader in the Latin American Bishops' Council until 1990, when he became even more powerful as president of the Pontifical Council for the Family and thus the chief voice in the Vatican in the defense of traditional family values. López Trujillo was unwavering in his opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage, and condoms. He caused a major stir in 2003 when he declared that condoms did not prevent the spread of AIDS because the HIV virus could “easily pass through.” In 2006 he ignited controversy again when he announced that for those involved in stem cell research (which he likened to abortion) “excommunication is valid for the women, the doctors, and researchers who destroy embryos.” After his ordination in 1960, López Trujillo was named auxiliary bishop of Bogotá (1971) and archbishop of Medellín (1979); in 1983 he was elevated to cardinal.
