A Brazilian bishop resigned on Wednesday, less than a week after a video spread on social media that featured someone, purported to be him, masturbating. Pope Francis accepted the resignation of Bishop Tomé Ferreira da Silva, who oversaw a diocese in Sao Paulo. When asked for comment on this or background on news reports the bishop had been previously investigated by the Vatican, all concerned refused to comment.
