The Catholic Culture website reports today (April 1, 2011) that Pope Benedict XVI has removed a bishop from his diocese in the Congo, because of gross mismanagement.
A terse Vatican announcement on March 31 indicated that the Holy Father had "removed Bishop Jean-Claude Makaya Loemba from the pastoral care of the diocese of Pointe-Noire, Republic of the Congo."
The Pope's action was triggered by severe mismanagement problems in the diocese, and by the fact that Bishop Loemba had lost the confidence of his clergy.
Bishop Loemba -- who is 56 years old -- was appointed to head the Pointe-Noire diocese in 1994.
