Life
Leaden was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1913. He was ordained a priest of the Roman Catholic religious institute of the Salesians of Don Bosco in November 1941. After this, he worked as a teacher in Buenos Aires. In 1969, he was appointed episcopal vicar of Belgrano.
On May 28, 1975 he was appointed Titular Bishop of Theudalis and Auxiliary Bishop of Buenos Aires and was ordained August 8, 1975. In 1976, a few months into the Dictatorship, his brother Alfredo was assassinated in the Palottino Massacre. Pope Francis recently launched the cause for Alfredo's beatification.[1] On April 10, 1992, Leaden retired from all his posts. After his retirement, Leaden still lived in Buenos Aires, where he died a few days before his 101st birthday.
