Delegates to the 227th Diocesan Convention of the Diocese of Pennsylvania voted overwhelmingly for Bishop Charles Bennison to resign. 476 secret ballots were cast, 341 in favor of the resolution, 134 voted against the resolution.
Bennison thanked the diocesan convention for its voting and when asked to comment, refused to say anything and proceeded to continue with the business of the convention.
Proposers of the resolution focused almost entirely on the abuse and cover-up of his bother's sexual abuse of a minor, citing various things Bennison has said, recently and generally, as well as his unrepentant and self-justifying attitude.
