Davenport, newly-backrupted and newly-bishoped

A busy week for the diocese of Davenport, Iowa:

On Tuesday it became the fourth diocese in the U.S. to file for bankruptcy.

And today, Bishop Franklin stepped down and Bishop Martin J. Amos (pictured left), an auxiliary of Cleveland, stepped up.

Catholic Heirarchy has more.

Bishop Amos' coat-of-arms.

Bishop Lennon says his farewells to his auxiliary Amos (warning: PDF file!).

Unfortunately, as of this posting, the Diocese of Davenport website has no news of the appointment. Hopefully Chapter 11 bankruptcy doesn't involve freezing their website ...

Any readers from the Davenport area have something to add?
