Pope
Francis has removed Bishop Martin D. Holley from the pastoral care of the
Diocese of Memphis, United States.
A
statement released by the Holy See Press Office on Wednesday revealed that Pope
Francis has removed Bishop Martin D. Holley from the pastoral care of the
diocese of Memphis in the United States.
The
statement also said Archbishop Joseph E. Kurz of Luisville has been appointed
as temporary apostolic administrator to oversee the diocese until further
notice.
The
removal follows a Vatican investigation into the Diocese of Memphis in June to
address concerns about major changes Bishop Holley had made.
Holley
was installed as Bishop of Memphis in October 2016 after serving as Auxiliary
Bishop of Washington, D.C. for 12 years.
