CANBERRA, Australia : Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of Bishop Christopher Henry Toohey, 57, of the Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes. The bishop had been on an extended leave of absence since Easter.

...

Bishop Toohey, most known for his environmental work and as the founder of Earthcare Australia, has been the bishop of the diocese in the Australian outback since 21.

The, expansive, drought-ridden diocese, which is equal in size to France, is constituted of 2 parishes served by 16 priests. It is reported that the diocese is experiencing a severe shortage of financial and human resources.

Sources at the Uruguayan Bishops’ Conference confirmed that the bishops do not have the authority to take the necessary measures in the case of Bishop Barbosa, who has been denounced for having homosexual relations by some clergy in his diocese.
...
Bishop Francisco Barbosa is one of the most theologically controversial prelates in Uruguay and is very “contemporary,” as demonstrated by his Episcopal motto, loosely translated as, “Gotta keep moving on.” The motto is taken from a popular song and is a refrain often used by a left-wing political coalition that supports abortion.

Papst Benedikt XVI. nahm am Montag den Rücktritt des Bischofs von Scranton, Mons. Joseph Martino (63), und seines Weihbischofs, Mons. John Dougherty (77), an. Letzterer trat aus Altersgründen zurück. Bischof Martino ist ein glühender Verteidiger des Lebensrechts ungeborener Kinder. In einer Pressekonferenz am Montag erklärte er, „körperlich müde“ zu sein. Es habe zwischen seiner Diözese – Priester und Laien – und ihm Unstimmigkeiten gegeben. Das habe ihm Sorgen und Schlaflosigkeit bereitet. Das Bistum Scranton brauche eine Neu-Evangelisierung und dafür einen körperlich starken Bischof, der er nicht sei. Die lefebvristische Monatszeitung ‘Remnant’ kommentierte den Rücktritt: „Die Guten treten zurück, während die Schurken ewig durchhalten.“

The many sides of Bishop Joseph F. Martino, retired bishop of the Diocese of Scranton, stood on display Monday as he announced he was stepping down from his post.

There was the pious side of Martino that quoted the Bible and humbly thanked the people of the diocese for their help during his service.

There was the conservative Catholic side, the one that took strict and unfaltering pro-life views when he lamented the 5 million unborn babies "murdered" from abortion.

There was the repentant side, the one Martino showed when he said his biggest regret was not being more mobile within the 11-county Diocese of Scranton.

And there was the strong-willed side that Martino has become known for when he defended the closings of Catholic parishes and schools throughout the diocese.

All of them put together made up the persona of Martino, who ended his tenure as the ninth bishop of the diocese Monday just short of his six-year anniversary.
