Just got word that tomorrow, Diocese of Orange Bishop Tod D. Brown is going to announce his retirement, and his successor will also be named.
HELL YA! ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!
This represents only the second good thing Brown has done in his 14 years heading Orange County Catholics–the first, of course, being his decision to buy the Crystal Cathedral instead of building a $100 million cathedral up the street from South Coast Plaza.
