Archbishop Dolan Called to New York

2/23/2009
....

Pope Benedict XVI has appointed Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan the next Archbishop of New York. Or, as Rocco Palmo headlined it, "Milwaukee Takes Manhattan" (reminds me of a chess match).

Archbishop Dolan will be installed on April 15. He succeeds Cardinal Edward Egan, who reached the retirement age of 75 in April of 2007.

Whispers in the Loggia and American Papist have both been following the story and providing commentary.

CUF is lucky to have had Archbishop Dolan write a couple excellent articles for Lay Witness. This is a great opportunity to revisit them:

Congratulations, Archbishop Dolan!

From Our Founder

It’s strange how God works. We were just talking about which bills to defer paying when a gift arrived and almost completely solved the problem. And that’s the way it goes. There’s always a problem; and there has always been a solution. One is tempted to think in anguish, “If only we could find about a thousand others as generous as this man . . .” but God has other plans, as He always had ever since He showered on the Israelites in the desert just enough manna for each day. That way we have to go on putting our trust in Him. The other way, we’d probably forget to do just that!
