Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese
Day 12: Diocese of Palm Beach
Formed in 1984, this diocese has had a short, turbulent history thanks to two of its former bishops. One, Joseph Symons, admitted to molesting five boys while he was a parish priest and resigned. His successor, Anthony O'Connell, would later admit to molesting two students while running a preparatory seminary in Missouri.
It was at this point that Sean O'Malley was made bishop, moving from the clean up job he had in Fall River to this one. He would serve for less than a year before being moved to Boston to replace Bernard Law, who left him a pretty big mess to clean up as well. Replacing O'Malley was the current bishop, Gerald Barbarito, who in what I hope is an unrelated move has a picture of himself as a child on his biography page.
