From Rappler:
 Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Brazilianbishop Vilson Dias de Oliveira, the Vatican said Friday, May 17, in a statement.
The bishop is under investigation for alleged extortion of priests in his diocese, and the covering-up of sexual abuse cases, according to Brazilian media reports.  Dias de Oliveira allegedly protected a priest accused of clerical abuse. The bishop confessed to police in April that he had swiped $4,000 (3,580 euros) from parish funds for personal use, telling them he did so because he was having financial difficulties, the reports said.
