BISHOP OF MAITLAND-NEWCASTE RESIGNS

Malone has resigned, why? One report seems to imply that he is not coping with the sex abuse issueSs that have plagued the diocese - no mention of the accusation made against the bishop himself of mistresses and paramours - these have been were largely ignored - perhaps the truth is that the pidgeons have come home to roost.  Well what ever the reason thank God that's over!

Sources in the diocese have indicated that anyone was going to be better - well the former parish priest of Sutherland and indeed Liverpool has been named - looks like the "good administrator" rasionale has kicked in a again.  So it's more of the same though for now - with perhaps a littel less contraversy.

No friend of the Classical Latin Rite, I'm afraid - there are still issues pending from Liverpool on this score or so I'm told.

What has the ACCC been doing?  Where any name put forward to Rome? Don't think so...
Looks like the other lot did though.
