Changed the word "Ordinaries" to "Bishops". As an Auxilary bishop, Gumbleton was not an ordinary. Only bishops who control their own diocese are called Ordinaries. --Kjrjr (talk) 18:42, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Needs editing[edit]

Article seems a little biased. Says the bishop was all but forcibly removed from his last parish but doesn't say why. Says the National Catholic Reporter is against Catholic teaching--yet that paper has won awards from the Catholic Press Association from 2000 to 2007. With Joe Friday, could we stick to the facts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.213.86 (talk) 02:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was a lot of POV, and I tried to remove it without losing the important message that Gumbleton has been a very controversial figure. DavidOaks (talk) 02:01, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@DavidOaks I don't think it is important that he was controversial. It is important what he did in his life. I am from Detroit. He was removed from his parish and forced to retire because he openly said that the catholic church should allow prosecution of clergy who sexually abused children despite the statute of limitations. Of course, the church can say this isn't why since he was relatively old. He also was barred from celebrating mass in the archdiocese. When he was removed from his parish, he asked the congregation to not protest. His hope was that he could remain living in the room he had lived in for so long.

It is tragic that after he stood for what was right it is considered important that "his Wikipedia page indicates he was controversial". 77.0.2.7 (talk) 06:53, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
