Last fall, he turned 75, the age at which canon law requires bishops to submit their resignation to the pope. Pope Benedict XVI accepted his resignation on April 26. On the same day, his successor, Bishop-designate Charles C. Thompson, was announced. He was ordained and installed on June 29. (Page 1)
