Notice this was done globally. We may never know of those bishops impacted in the US. I had hoped and prayed that Benedict XVI would still be pope when Bishop Hubbard retired, later this year. Alas ...
The rumored loyalty oaths, sudden “retirements”, sabbaticals and “retreats”, and “retraining” that went on behind the scenes thanks to our German Shepherd will be this Pope’s true legacy.
**“There have been two or three instances in which they said no, and so the Pope simply removed them,” he explained. “This is also a message to the bishops: do the same thing in your dioceses.”**
Praying that happens with a new Archbishop here.
Our bishop had already given his resignation before the manure hit the fan, the comptroller was borrowing from Peter to pay Paul but was never repaying Peter. All to support the lavish lifesyle of the bishop and his minions.
Our new bishop will be installed tomorrow, he has already rescinded some huge increases in insurance premiums.
