Life[]
Born in Buenos Aires, Taussig was ordained to the priesthood on December 3, 1982.
On July 21, 2004, he was appointed bishop of San Rafael. Taussig received his episcopal consecration on the following September 25 from Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Buenos Aires, the later pope Francis, with archbishop emeritus of Paraná, Estanislao Esteban Karlic, archbishop of La Plata, Héctor Rubén Aguer, archbishop of Rosario, , and bishop of Mar del Plata, Juan Alberto Puiggari, serving as co-consecrators. He was installed as bishop on October 11, 2004.
An opponent of the reception of Holy Communion on the tongue, he is best known for his decision to close the seminary of the diocese of San Rafael after a revolt by the diocesan priests following his ban of the practice.[1] In November 2020, Taussig was allegedly accosted by a priest of the diocese following an argument with protesters regarding the closure.[2]
