AP reports that Bishop Boland's early retirement was occasioned by health problems: He is a colon cancer survivor who has a fatigue-inducing condition called hemochromatosis. "The time has come to say goodbye," Boland told staffers Tuesday morning. "A diocese is not well served by a bishop whose energy is compromised by ailments too boring to enumerate." http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/local/11726471.htm

Last fall, Bishop Boland praised the National Catholic Reporter for its "love for the Church." http://natcath.org/NCR_Online/archives2/2004d/121004/121004o.php One finds no such praise, however, for Bishop Finn, whom Bishop Boland describes as "just a neophyte. He's just beginning. He has a lot to learn." Bishop Finn, for his part, says he trusts the teaching Church and laments the contraceptive mentality. http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascitystar/living/religion/10591162.htm

What if anything does this portend for the National (Anti-)Catholic Reporter?
