Pope fires Memphis bishop after investigation
The Vatican recently announced Pope Francis fired Bishop Martin Holley, the Roman Catholic bishop of Memphis, after he refused to resign following an investigation of mismanagement. A Vatican spokesman said Holley's removal from pastoral governance was due to mismanagement of the diocese and was not abuse related. Francis appointed Holley to the Memphis Diocese in October 2016. Shortly after his arrival, Holley ordered the transfer of about 75 percent of the diocese's pastors. The Vatican sent two U.S. archbishops in June for a three-day investigation, also known as a "visitation," to determine if there were any problems with Holley's leadership. The visitation also looked into Holley's decision to bring in Canadian priest Rev. Clement Machado to serve as his chief of staff. After the visitation, Machado resigned, but the Vatican didn't reveal what the investigation found and no cannon law was cited for Holley's removal. Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville has been appointed as Holley's replacement until Francis names a permanent replacement.
