Gumbleton: Nothing but the truth

Sister Joan Chittister in her "From Where I Stand" column in National Catholic Reporter decried the "The resignation/removal/whatever of Bishop Gumbleton" as auxiliary bishop of Detroit.

First, bishops are required to tender their resignation to the Roman pontiff at the age of 75. There's nothing wrong with that. ...

And so she continues on the assumption that Bishop Gumbleton had promptly tendered his resignation. As you might recall, he did not.
