Appointed bishop by John Paul II, who refused even to read the dossiers on candidates. He just opened the folders, and signed on the dotted line. He appointed thousands of POS’s like Lynch, and Bergoglio, all over the world.
I can’t speak for the Schiavo incident. However, this is the Bishop that expressly forbade the practice of exposition and adoration in his diocese, stating essentially that it was a waste of time when one can be out in the world doing good works!
