Ping!
For what it’s worth, both have a rust belt background.
DiNardo is from Steubenville, Ohio. Kurtz is from Eastern PA coal country.
Kurtz is expected by many to be the next archbishop of Chicago.
If I remember correctly — I put DiNardo as the new president.
Second in command will have to do, I guess.
Can we expect a hardline or more namby pambyism?
I hope these two guys who were chosen are as good (or better) choices for the serious problems we face in the USA, and that they will never genuflect toward President B-O. (If they have to invite the anti-Catholic B-O to any banquets or anything like that, they should make him sit way over in the muslim section -- located out in the hallway, in another building.)
