Polish Auxiliary Bishop Elect Retires Before Being Consecrated

Or maybe he just didn't want to be a 'FrancisBishop' for fear people would assume he was an anti-Catholic heretic like the man who appointed him.

From Gloria.tv

Father Franciszek Ślusarczyk, 60, will not be ordained a bishop.

On December 3, Pope Francis named him an Auxiliary Bishop of Krakow. But on December 12, Ślusarczyk decided "after reflexion and prayer" to hand in his early resignation.

Ślusarczyk was since 2014 the rector of the Divine Mercy Sanctuary in Kraków-Łagiewniki, a hideous building that looks like a nuclear power plant.

The reasons behind Ślusarczyk’s decision are unknown. He is described as an excellent, modest, hardworking and kind pastor. It is possible that, shy by nature, he was overwhelmed by the public attention he suddenly received.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
