Could be a good opening for STEED

So is it because of a health problem or a "coverup of a touching little boys scandal" problem?

I suspect health problems. He is older than dirt.

A bit of both, I'm guessing.

I guess it won't be long everyone will be watching the chimney for smoke signs.

Damnit Jim, I was going to say that the Op Yewtree list is the next shortlist for the job.

I was going to say it, but I just did.

Okay, next will be Lord Vader's turn.

That's okay. He always struck me as being a bit bendictive anyway.

Actually, his tenure has seen him actively working hard to clean up the church and its mess. While regional church leaders were trying to hush things up, he was working to do things like remove the statute of limitations for such crimes, including in canon law that such things against anyone under 18 would be a crime for a priest, etc. He has worked hard to see that bad priests can get tossed easier.

I am not catholic - and I have great issues with the theology. So the guy looks like palpatine. He has worked for good - and I respect him for that.

Time to fire up the little stove again.

Regional church leaders????
Thats his old job isn't it, a regional church leader in Germany during the time when regional church leaders in Germany were hushing up their long running kiddie fiddling habits.

But its OK he had a redeeming job in the interim between being top dog and regional husher upper, it involved going to different countries to work on hushing up the local child abuse scandals with the local regional leaders.
