settled question on option 'Yes'.
It has been announced that Cardinal Sean Brady will step down as the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, three years after being implicated in covering up child abuse.

This is the best summary I can find of the present situation....

http://www.thenewage.co.za/79144-1020-53-After_abuse_scandal_Pope_appoints_new_head_of_Irish_church

Pope Benedict on Friday appointed the new head of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland to succeed Cardinal Sean Brady, whose tenure has been plagued by scandal over the sexual abuse of children on the predominantly Roman Catholic island.

The Vatican said Monsignor Eamon Martin, 51, had been named "coadjutor" archbishop of Armagh, meaning he will automatically succeed Brady when he retires next year.

Brady, who will remain primate until his retirement, has resisted calls by three of the four main parties in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland's deputy first minister to resign over the sexual abuse scandal.

.... so it's neither one thing or the other OR it's both. How do we settle - or would voiding be best?

I the meantime I've suspended it.

The Vatican's move was seen as an attempt to give him a soft exit. While it spared him the embarrassment of stepping down before his scheduled retirement, he will effectively be sidestepped as Martin takes over the running of the diocese.
