CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Charles Drennan resigned in 2019 after a non-criminal relationship with a young woman came to light. “I really don’t know why he is still a bishop,” Cardinal John Dew told the Royal Commission into Abuse in Care. “That is entirely Rome’s decision. The Pope is the only one that can remove a bishop from office.”

Drennan also denounced the secrecy of the TPP negotiations.
