Timothy Cardinal Dolan’s 16-year tenure as Archbishop of New York came to an end on Thursday, with a bishop from Pope Leo XIV’s native Windy City set to assume the holy throne.
Pope Leo accepted Dolan’s resignation and appointed Bishop Ronald Hicks from his home state of Illinois as Dolan’s successor as the head of the Archdiocese of New York, the Vatican confirmed.
Hicks, 58, head of the Diocese of Joliet, had been rumored to be next in line after Dolan reached the mandatory retirement age of 75 in February, church insiders told The Post earlier this week.

And why is this news?

I’m not Catholic but I always have liked Cardinal Dolan when I have seen him interviewed. He seems like a good dude. I wish him the best in retirement.

Because he’s a semi-celebrity and probably the most well-known priest in America.

Dolan is joining the Mamdani administration because Socialists stick together……

It must be bad when politics permeates every aspect of your life. Hope you can get past that and enjoy your life some…

thinking Cardinal Dolan is even remotely close to being a socialist. He's one of the most conservative clergy in the American Catholic Church

Dolan is a big reason that Leo is Pope

Just remember when posting in threads like this;
If you're not Catholic your opinion of the Catholic Church doesn't matter.
You are outside of it.

It's always humorous to see people with no idea what they are talking about state their uninformed opinion with such confidence.

Isn’t Christianity in general?

I'm using "celebrity" as a broad term, meaning "well known"
He's not a celebrity in the traditional sense. He does have a wide audience as the Archbishop of New York and his masses are televised and get a lot of coverage.

You've got it backwards. Leo is spreading his Chicago taint to other cities.

Man...can you imagine being married to the pope's sister in law?
PSIL:"How many pairs of shoes did you sell today Mortimer? Three and a half!? How do you sell half a shoe?
What, did he have a peg leg? OH...he did have a peg leg? Well, still.
Why can't you be more like your brother. You know, that nice car...well really more of a -mobile. And here we ate still in a Buick from the Bush administration.
And that lovely house he has! You should ask him to do Christmas there. I hear he has a lovely basement. Full of neat things. Much nicer than a train set, a snow blower and a Pittsburgh Potty.
And did you ask your boss about a promotion yet? You know your brother got that nice promotion. What was it...oh yeah, Vicar of Christ, Ruler of Vatican City, Head Manager of the Magisterium.
And you can't even make assistant shoe store manager. Oof, I might have married the wrong brother."
