Robert Joseph Banks (February 28, 1928-) was the tenth Roman Catholic bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Green Bay, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. [http://www.gbdioc.org/pg/history.tpl]

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, he was ordained a Roman Catholic priest on February 20, 1952, for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. On July 26, 1985, Pope John Paul II appointed him auxiliary bishop of the Boston Archdiocese, and he was consecrated on September 19, 1985. On October 10, 1990, Pope John Paul II appointed Bishop Banks the Bishop of the Green Bay Diocese. Bishop Banks retired on October 10, 2003. [http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bbanks.html] [http://www.gbdioc.org/pg/dioceseBishops.tpl] He retired among a controversy that he had overlooked a priest's alleged pedophilia in the Roman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal while he was an auxiliary bishop at Boston.
