Enrique Treviño Cruz

Controversy over primacy

Controversy in the church erupted after an April 2022 diocesan election to replace Moreno as bishop of northern Mexico. Five clergy said they were prevented from participating in the election, which resulted in Oscar Pulido becoming bishop-elect amid claims of interference in the election. Shortly thereafter, competing delegations from the Diocese of Northern Mexico presented themselves for admission to the church's national synod in June 2022, one led by Pulido and another led by Moreno. As acting primate, Treviño recognized the Pulido-led delegation and Treviño was, during the synod, elected and formally installed as primate.

In March 2026, Treviño was succeeded as archbishop by Bishop of Mexico Alba Sally Sue Hernandez.
