TAMPA, Fla. â The stateâs two-year investigation into allegations Catholic priests sexually abused Florida children resulted in a blistering report, naming 97 Catholic priests meeting the state s criteria for prosecution.
Not a single one will stand trial.
The 10th bishop of the Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine will officially submit a letter of resignation to Pope Francis on Feb. 5, according to diocesan officials.
Bishop Felipe Estevez will leave the office he has served since mid-2011 because the mandatory retirement age for bishops is 75.
As was done when Bishop Victor Galeone retired in 2011 after replacing John Snyder in 2001, the pope will make the ultimate decision as to who replaces Estevez.
Estevez was on a retreat and did not wish to comment until the pope appoints his successor. He said that is when his retirement will begin, diocesan spokeswoman Kathleen Bagg said.
