LORAIN -- Pending official approval from the Vatican, Bishop A. James Quinn, head of the western region of the Cleveland Catholic Diocese, will retire from his duties in mid-June.

Quinn, 76, is celebrating his 50th anniversary of ordination into the priesthood and is marking a quarter-century of service as bishop. ...

Quinn called the national sex abuse scandal involving priests "a sorry day for the church."

"It's time to move on from that," said Quinn. "It's too bad that some people don't want to move on. There are always people who bring up the scandal. It surfaces from time to time. The Holy Father said he was scandalized by it and said it was shameful."
