[Note: The Vatican no longer cites the canon (can. 401.1 and 2) that governs the resignation/removal of a bishop. Until September 2016, a canonical citation was a standard part of the Holy See’s announcement. See, for example, the 4/21/15 announcement re Bishop Robert W. Finn. For more examples of canonical announcements, see BishopAccountability.org’s Bishops Accused of Sexual Abuse and Misconduct: A Global Accounting.]
