Another Pope Francis Flop: Bishop Elect Steps Down
Canon Christopher Whitehead, whom Francis appointed Bishop of Plymouth, England, has " stepped back from active ministry" (sic). He will not be consecrated a bishop as planned on 22 February, but will continue as diocesan administrator of Plymouth.
The English bishops said that "a canonical process is now underway and no further comment will be made until this has been completed".
