The RC Archbishop of Seattle, if I'm thinking of the right guy, shocked and disgusted Catholics across America when he got elected head of the US Council of Catholic Bishops. His diocese is notorious for heresy, and the most financially devestated from sex-abuse payouts. But it's not all the current bishop's fault:

Archbishop Hunthausen was formally found to be a heretic. A "coadjutor bishop," Thomas Murphy, took over running the diocese, until Hunthausen retired while still very healthy several years before normal retirement age.

Joseph Brunett was consercrated by notorious San Francisco Archbishop William Levada.

For clarity: Brunett is the current Archbishop of Seattle. Hunthausen was penalized in 1986, and retired in 1990
