He turned 75 almost a year ago. He'll turn 76 in about 2 weeks.
He threatened last year not to send in his resignation letter as required.
What's going on with this guy? Why is he still there?

Most gays were victims of sexual abuse. The problem is that researchers and the gays themselves are loathe to call such experiences abuse, instead talking about their "sexual self-discovery" that occurred when they were 7 years old in a public men's room.

However, I believe Bishop Gumbleton sees that Pope Benedict is finally retiring bishops, and is trying to make it look like he is being punished.

He has no real power except to make news in this fashion, he excels at this sort of thing. He is an auxiliary bishop and I'm wondering how the Vatican will proceed.
