FL--Victims blast new Tampa/St. Pete Catholic bishop

We are disappointed that Bishop Gregory Parkes of Pensacola-Tallahassee has been promoted to head Florida's second-largest market as the fifth bishop of St Petersburg. We disapprove of his handling of a 2013 predator priest case and see no signs that might indicate that he be any better than his predecessor in dealing with the church’s continuing child sex abuse and cover up crisis.
In 2013, Parkes waited five weeks before suspending an accused priest, Fr. Michael A. Cherup.
