Succeeds Auxiliary Bishop Robert Joseph Hermann
It is appropriate to state that Rev. Msgr. Rice "succeeds the retiring St. Louis Auxiliary Bishop Robert Joseph Hermann." However, additional biographical information about Bishop Hermann is a more appropriate inclusion for the wiki article about Robert Joseph Hermann. I recommend that the following text be removed from the "Edward M. Rice" article and added to the "Robert Joseph Hermann" article: "... 76, whose resignation was accepted that same day by Pope Benedict upon his having reached the age of 75 in August 2009- the age at which bishops must submit their resignation to the Pope for possible acceptance. Bishop Hermann had served the St. Louis Archdiocese for fifty years as an ordained cleric, having served as auxiliary bishop under three separate archbishops and having been the Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese in between the departure of Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke (to be Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura in the Roman Curia at the Vatican) in June 2008 and the arrival of the present Archbishop, Robert James Carlson, in April 2009."
