Did he have right of succession?
editThe article lists 2 coadjutor appointments for this bishop. Nowadays, a Catholic coadjutor must have the right of succession, but back then it was possible to have coadjutor who did not have this right; I know of John Maguire, coadjutor archbishop of New York when Cardinal Spellman died, but Terence Cooke, then an auxiliary bishop of New York, was appointed to succeed Spellman in the see of New York. For Leo C. Byrne, you should include right of succession if that was provided (I did so a while back with Michael W. Hyle, who then succeeded to the see of Wilmington, Delaware). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 21:00, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
would not be a successor as an auxiliary bishop
editDepending on the circumstances, a diocese might not have any auxiliary bishop, or it could have 1 and only 1, or it could have more than 1. So I don't understand why you have the predecessor/successor box for the post of auxiliary bishop of St. Louis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 21:05, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
