New Bishop - or just another rumor?
I heard rumors and rumblings about Bishop Clark of the Diocese of Rochester being retired/replaced/"fired" as far back as the 90s. Usually such stories were spread by folks unhappy with some of the things he was doing (or not doing). But those rumors proved just indeed to be rumors.
There's a new one though: That as early as today it could be announced that Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Perry will be named as Bishop Clark's successor, and that Bishop Clark will step down before his official retirement date in 2012.
I'd just consider it another rumor, but Thomas Peters of American Papist fame is reporting that he has heard the rumor. He has a track record of picking up on such things.
Still, it could be just another rumor like all the others. We'll see.
[UPDATE: As of 5 p.m., no news. Just a rumor? Or on hold?]

I hate slugs, but am excited at the thought of Bishop Perry coming to Rochester. Hope it's not just a rumor.
