The Catholic News website reports today (July 8, 2012) that Catholics in Slovakia have demanded an explanation after their church's youngest archbishop was dismissed by Pope Benedict XVI, after just three years in office.
Hundreds of Catholics protested at Trnava Cathedral following an announcement on July 2 that Archbishop Robert Bezak, 52, was stepping down immediately.
They said Bezak's dismissal had "disgusted and divided the faithful and society."
Last Sunday (July 1) Bezak told churchgoers that the Vatican had leveled "serious allegations" against him and barred him from speaking to the media.
