Resignation is One Thing...

But will he be defrocked? Will he undergo Degradation from Episcopal Orders?

They should be doing that even just for the bishops who covered up child molestation. And certainly for the ones like this who actually abused children themselves (of which there have now been several cases).

If they don't do it for that, then what will they do it for?

Oh, right, for illicit episcopal ordinations of married men (ala Milingo). Because, you know, that's so much worse than sexually abusing a child...

This also shows how "well" the process of vetting and picking bishops works.
