Pope Francis has appointed Thomas Daly as the new Catholic Bishop of Spokane.

The announcement was made early Thursday. Details will be released during a 9 a.m. press conference.

Daly, 54, succeeds Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich, who left Spokane last fall to lead the nation’s third largest diocese.

Daly comes to Spokane from San Jose, where he served as auxiliary bishop. He was born in San Francisco and was ordained as a priest in 1987.

Prayers for the new Bishop of Spokane. Can't find much about him yet. The embattled Archbishop of San Francisco, the one that liberals hate, was his boss and promoted him a couple of times. Hopefully that's a good sign.

He seems to have written a very good letter on homosexuality, reaffirming the Church’s teaching, so that’s a positive sign!

I just realized that I had the wrong Daly...the letter was by the (now retired) bishop Thomas Daily, and for some reason, the search for Daly brought it up and I didn’t notice the difference in spelling.
