Sort of a Bishop scrappage scheme?

"The serving bishops are the Rt Rev Andrew Burnham, Bishop of Ebbsfleet, the Rt Rev Keith Newton, Bishop of Richborough and the Bishop of Fulham, the Rt Rev John Broadhurst."

Never knew there were cathedrals in Fulham, Richborough and Ebbsfleet...

Ebbsfleet cathedral ?

On further investigation, it looks like these are new roles created to deal with parishes who wouldn't recognise a local bishop because he had ordained women.

All three are married with children. How are they going to reconcile that with Catholic dogma? Surely a bigger obstacle than the ordination of women?
