JP merely "reassigned" him. To the Diocese of Partenia. No one knew where this was. It turned out that Partenia had been buried under hundreds of feet of sand in the Sahara Desert since the sixth Century!

ROFL!!! Thank you! You just made my day .. no week ... no month .... no year .. no life!! There is hope, most especially under B-16. He is taking his time appointing new bishops and that is consoling. Now if only we could convince him to 're-assign' certain bishops and Cardinals :-)
