Speaking of turning 75. Is McCarrick still around? I thought his resignation was expected immediately, I was looking forward to finding out his successor.
Dear StAthansiustheGreat,
Cardinal McCarrick has submitted his resignation. Rumor has it that it will be accepted within the year, which I am to understand is relatively speedy for a cardinal.
However, I doubt that Pope Benedict XVI desires to intentionally slap Cardinal McCarrick in the face, so I doubt that any announcement regarding the appointment of a successor will occur much before late Autumn or even Winter.
In the Archdiocese of Washington, we wait with bated breath.
