A couple things:
  1. Prayers for Bishop Brennan. He is stepping into a very tough situation. Calming the seas among the faithful and clergy in the diocese will be a challenge.
  2. He will have to submit his resignation in less than three years (he’s 72). Clearly not a long-term appointment.
 
I kind of wondered why an older man would be assigned. My guess is that they wanted a trusted person to step in and do the emergency clean-up work while they look for somebody who might be able to do the job long-term.

Prayers for Bishop Brennan, that he can rebuild whatever trust needs to be rebuilt and clean up whatever messes still remain to be cleaned up.
