Significant appointments

Today's Rinunce e Nomine section of the Bollettino is quite full, with some significant appointments. There is a new Bishop for Spokane (Mgr Blase Cupich), new auxiliaries for Boston (Frs Arthur Kennedy and Peter Uglietto), a new Rector for the Lateran University (Rev Enrico dal Covolo SDB), and a new member of the team of Pontifical MCs (Fr John Richard Cihak)

Archbishop Celestino Migliore has been appointed as Apostolic Nuncio for Poland. Up to now, he has been the Permanent Observer for the Holy See at the United Nations. Mgr Ignacio Carrasco de Paula has been appointed as President of the Pontifical Academy for Life. I know that some will be very pleased to hear of these moves.

As widely expected, and now officially announced, Archbishop Fisichella has been appointed as President of the newly formed Pontifical Council for the New Evangelisation, and Cardinal Marc Ouellet (above) has been made Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops.

Wasn't there some controversy stirred up by Fisichella last year?

Is Archbishop Fisischella not the one for whose sacking John Smeaton has bees calling, because of his expressed views on abortion?

Sorry to strike a sour note.

Fr Tim Finigan said...

Indeed. The post was written carefully with that thought in mind.

The auto-demolition continues.

If there is a New Evangelisation needed, then it is one where the clergy have to re-evangelised in the Catholic faith.

At least he is out of the Academy for Life.

So do we have to settle for mediocrity now?
