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

If we are going to make good our promise to support the Pope and the teaching Church, we have to develop an influence working for the true renewal so urgently called for by the documents of Vatican II and by the Holy Father. The Holy Church is Christ’s Church; it is His to save, and He will save it-with our help if we give Him the help He wants, where and when He wants it. But we cannot take matters into our own hands. We have to listen to the Holy Father and fight the battle under him and in the way he decides it must be fought. And Rome has asked us to be very careful, very patient.
