Irish Bishop Named After Sex Scandal

DUBLIN — The man who has run the diocese of disgraced Roman Catholic Bishop Eamonn Casey since he fled Ireland in a love-child scandal is to get the post himself.

Casey fled to the United States after admitting he was the father of a 17-year-old son following a 1970s love affair with an American divorcee.
