You've got it! This diocese has been rocked by scandal, most of it attributable to those candidates approved by this bishop and his predecessor. The current number of priests are aging. The more orthodox among them have had their parishes taken away, replaced by lay ecclesial ministers. The few stalwart 'orthodox' catholics are counting down the days until this bishop's retirement - 5 years away. The next bishop will have his hands full trying to undo the damage from 35+ years of this bishop's destruction.
