Pope accepts resignation of Irish bishop who covered up abuse

The Pope should also resign for his complicity in the cover up before he became Pope. If he doesn't then this is an outrage to all the children that were abused both in Ireland and America which he aided in the coverup.

I think they should step down, and step out - of the priesthood. And the Pope should not wait for resignations, but should take the initiative; Everywhere, not just in Ireland. And not just Bishops, but Cardinals also. Where is Cardinal Law of Massachusetts now and what is he doing?

JUST AS WOLVES ATTACKED AND KILLED ST. CONLETH, THE FIRST BISHOP OF KILDARE, THEIR DESCENDANTS ARE ENCIRCLING TODAY's BISHOPS.

Is that the same Moriarty of Sherlock Holmes fame? Sounds like him.

Kenneth Haynes’ headline above is more the truth than the one posted on ICentral’s main page - “... bishop falls...” Geeze! I feel like gettin’ on a plane inta dat Icelandic ash cloud over d'Atlantic and giving youze ICentral editors a good whupping for posting false leading headlines. But then I might not arrive due to possible harm to jet engines in that ash clouds, my point wud be lost and yez wudn’t get a whuppin’. But then again, God might’ve preserved me in that cloud... and then what a whuppin’ yez wuda got from me, a tough former GAA player to boot, wi’ a hurley in me hands to slash your pens to bits. It wuda been ‘Gawd help yeeze den’! >>> The Bishop didn’t fall – he resigned humbly of shame of his inaction and not of anything he truly did as a Bishop of the Catholic Church. In this sense, his resignation might be seen as one leadership.
