Louisville Archbishop Shelton Fabre has been appointed by the Vatican to oversee the Diocese of Knoxville after Bishop Richard Stika resigned under pressure following allegations of mishandling sex abuse allegations and complaints about his leadership and behavior. Fabre will serve as the temporary Apostolic Administrator until a new bishop is installed, splitting his time between Louisville and Knoxville.
