Too Many Scandals or Only Too Catholic? Polish Bishop Resigns At 59

Francis has accepted the resignation of Sosnowiec Bishop Grzegorz Kaszak, 59, Poland, who was appointed in 2009. Katowice Archbishop Galbas became the Apostolic Administrator.

Kaszak has faced several scandals in his diocese. In August, a homosex orgie of Father Tomasz Z. ended in a medical emergency of a male prostitute losing consciousness.

On March 7, Fr Robert Szulczewski, 46, threw himself under a train after Deacon Mateusz Błaut, 25, was found dead with 13 stab wounds. Both had worked at Sosnowiec Cathedral and had fallen out with each other.

In 2013, the Vatican closed the Sosnowiec diocesan seminary in Krakow and moved it to Częstochowa after a video emerged showing Father Mariusz T., the seminary's rector, engaging in homosex activity in a Krakow homosex club in 2010.

Kaszak has the reputation of being a [neo-conservative] Catholic. He was close to John Paul II and Benedict XVI and professed the truth about abortion, euthanasia, homosexual sin, and gender ideology.
