Providence bishop hospitalized

NORTH PROVIDENCE -- The Rev. Thomas J. Tobin, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Providence, who has been suffering from back pain, was admitted yesterday to Our Lady of Fatima Hospital for evaluation.

Tobin underwent tests, including a magnetic resonance imaging test, to determine a course of treatment, said Michael Guilfoyle, spokesman for Roman Catholic Doicese.

``He is still experiencing back pain and the doctors are continuing to evaluate and treat him,'' said Guilfoyle.
