The AmP Bishop Appointment Watch List
catholicvoteaction.org: 0:25 20-04-2010The AmP Bishop Appointment Watch List
Tuesday is the traditional day for new Vatican appointments of bishops to dioceses in the United States.There is a higher-than-usual possibility that we’ll have a new bishop (or two) announced this Tuesday (or Wednesday).
In order, these are the dioceses I think are most likely to have a replacement named soon:
- Diocese of Springfield, IL (under a diocesan administrator since June of 2009)
- Archdiocese of Indianapolis, IN (Abp. Buechlein is in poor health, may have submitted his resignation)
- Archdiocese of Miami (I blogged why last week)
- Diocese of Lafayette, IN (Bp. Higi was supposed to retire in August of 2008, is still waiting for a response)
- Diocese of La Crosse, WI (vacant since Bp. Listecki was appointed to Milwaukee)
A good place to check-up on the current vacant & overdue dioceses is this page on my father’s website.
Have you heard any speculation about an arch/diocese about to receive a new head? Discuss in the comments or drop me a line!
