Comment about removal of bishops' names
OK, I see that names of bishops from 1947 onward are to be removed from buildings. I have no comments, in the paragraph you are reading, about this Wikipedia article. However, I want to say that I guess that presumably there would be nothing afoot to name anything after current Bishop Gainer. Also, Keeler did deal with abuse cases in the Baltimore archdiocese (including personally delivering a laicization decree to a priest who had been **shot** by an accuser), but I see the criticism regarding the diocese he left behind when he got the promotion to Baltimore. Rhoades went to Indiana and there succeeded John D'Arcy, who is regarded by some as a hero (when he was auxiliary of Boston, he warned about, but could not stop, an appointment of John Geoghan).

 * Yes, a lot of what came out in the grand jury report is "old news" that wasn't public until now. Cardinal Wuerl is another example of someone who is now under fire for things he did in a previous diocese.  I'm not surprised Keeler is in the same boat.  My guess is that when the scandals became huge public things a couple decades ago, many bishops stopped sheltering abusing priests, and some of them made a big show of having a "zero tolerance policy" -- but they didn't inform the public that they had previously acted in other ways.


 * Normally things aren't named after current bishops, but occasionally they are -- Cardinal Wuerl had a high school named after him even though he's still the archbishop. &mdash; Lawrence King ( talk ) 20:50, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
