The Vatican announced today that we're getting a new Archbishop in Cincinnati. Archbishop Pilarczyk is almost at his mandatory retirement age of 75, so the Vatican is moving Dennis M. Schnurr here to be the Archbishop-elect. Schnurr comes from the Diocese of Duluth, MN.
The local paper (The Enquirer) has an article on it, quoting a SNAP representative as 'it can't get any worse'. I smiled on that one; of course it could get worse, but it seems like it's going to get better. However, I share their sentiment; this is long overdue.
As usual Steve, I'm sure that you'll forgive me for again adding my Canadian two cents worth. I've heard that our dollar is really starting to slide but we'll call it two cents worth just the same. Below is an email that might be of interest to some of your readers. :)
God Bless,
Peace.
For your information,
In a letter sent to Canada's Prime Minister, Mr. Stephen Harper, the President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, Archbishop V. James Weisgerber, has asked on behalf of all the Bishops of Canada that the Government of India be encouraged to end the anti-Christian violence in the country. The Bishops also asked Prime Minister Harper to verify that Canadian funds are not being sent to support groups responsible for the violence.

I knew that Cincinnati badly needed a new bishop when I had the opportunity, one day, to visit Austin TX. I looked at the Austin diocese newspaper and actually was surprised that it was interesting and made Catholics aware of their responsibilities and duties. Never had that feeling when I read the Cincinnati diocese paper. Won't tell you how I felt except that it made me sick and sad.
