English term or phrase: The bishop gave Sanchez a reprimand
I would like to know the best translation from American English into Argentinean Spanish. It's a translation about abuses in the Catholic church. Will it be okay to translate as "El obispo le dio a Sanchez una reprimenda?

Thanks for your help.
Sincerely.
