Head of Rochester Diocese Submits Resignation

Catholic Diocese of Rochester Bishop Salvatore Matano is submitting his resignation.

He's reached the mandatory retirement age of 75.

It's been just under 2 years since the Diocese declared bankruptcy, as sex abuse victims began to sue under the Child Victims Act.

Matano has held the post since 2014.

It'll be up to Pope Francis as to whether he'll accept the resignation, and when.
