A recent example was the effective sacking by Pope John Paul II in October 2001 of the Catholic Archbishop of Cardiff, John Aloysius Ward.
Ward was removed after failing to step down of his own accord in the face of widespread outrage that he ignored warnings about the behaviour of two priests in his archdiocese - including his own press officer and a man he ordained in 1998 against the advice of a fellow bishop.
