I offer my hearty congratulations both to Archbishop Timothy Dolan and the Archdiocese of New York, and profound thanks for what certainly looks to be a very good decision by Pope Benedict. In case you missed it, Abp. Dolan was appointed the next Archibishop of the Archdiocese of New York – to be, as Pope John Paul II said, “Bishop of Capital of the World” (he was making a slightly tongue-in-cheek comparison between “the Bishop of Rome” and the bishop of, as some would say, the “modern” Rome). He has a tremendous amount of work ahead of him but I think, with the help of the Holy Spirit, he will be more than up to the task.
Rocco also has some good coverage, starting here and going back.
