Resigned as all bishops do at age 75, having nothing to do with the complaints against him, which are still being investigated.

He was appointed to France by Benedict. I wonder if there was some plot to get him out of the way.

What’s wrong with these people?

Perhaps if the Popes weren’t homo they could clear this stuff up and clean house.

There are a ton of Catholics who want to “come back” to the church, but not at the cost of supporting these perverts.

Stands to reason that since those at the top are corrupt, those appointed/annointed underneath them would have to be corrupt also...You’re certainly not going to invite people into your group who have the potential to expose your immoral, illegal behavior...
