Bump for your bishop - another one that is welcome to transfer here any time. ;)

He's ours! We got him first! LOL! Actually, I was wondering if he will eventually be moved on to a bigger diocese. Not soon, I hope, because we still need him here.

We didn't have a lot of scandals under the old bishop, fortunately, but we did have a lot of laxity, bad practice and pretty dubious teaching. Bishop Galeone has been here about four years, but he's been really effective in making changes, and he's popular with both the laity and the clergy (except for a couple of them who had gotten used to doing whatever they wanted to under the old bishop). Vocations are also up.
