No, complicit bishops have NOT been disciplined

“Some bishops were booted out (last year) because of their records on sex abuse.” So claims a writer for Crux. He’s wrong. Michael O'Loughlin writes “Advocates for victims of clergy sex abuse often lament that bishops have not been held accountable for their handling of the crisis, but in 2015, a few bishops were removed from office for precisely that reason.”
Nope. First, no one was “removed” from office. They voluntarily resigned. (There’s a difference. Just ask anyone who’s ever been fired.)
