Perhaps this is what earned him the appointment.

What document do you reference with (II Pt 3:13) in the article? I am curious and would like to see if I can find it in its entirity via the Net. Thanks!

Bear in mind that I say this as an almost-daily attendee at the Tridentine Mass, and excuse me for asking this in the midst of the apparent jubilation at this appointment:

FIRST, until he was removed and replaced, had anyone ever heard of the previous #2 man at CDW? (In fact, I cannot even think of his name now to type it in the question!).

I mean, did he WRITE anything? DECIDE anything? ESPOUSE anything that anyone can remember?????

That's just to put the job itself in perspective.

SECONDLY, did anyone notice how long this new guy was Bishop of his own diocese? Less than six years. And from there he was absorbed into the diplomatic corps, to Rome and nunciatures somewhat lower on the plum-scale than, say, London, Washington, Paris and Berlin.

What does it mean in Sri Lanka when a bishop "moves on" after less than six years, NOT to an Archdiocese or a prominent desk in Rome but to East Timor? I know what it means in the USA, no matter what the people left behind (often rejoicing) in the diocese may be told!

All of which is to say that, given some of the English-speaking names that were circulating as candidates for this job, I wonder if, since it was the #2 spot after all, the choice was something like the Democratic primary here last Fall: Kerry, Edwards, Sharpton, hmmmm, choices, choices, decisions, decisions . . .

Just wondering.

He sounds like a good choice for this position.
