In a somewhat surprising announcement, Pope Francis announced
yesterday that Bishop Gregory Parkes of Pensacola-Tallahassee will be
the new bishop of St. Petersburg. Parkes will be installed as the fifth
bishop of the local diocese since its founding in 1968 on January 4,
2017 in St. Petersburg.
In any transition of power, many questions arise in terms of how will the new authority figure govern? What changes will be made? What will be his priorities? As a child abuse advocate and a priest abuse lawyer, I wonder how he will handle abuse allegations. Will he be transparent and deal with sexual abuse survivors in a compassionate and just manner?
