Pope Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of Philadelphia archbishop Cardinal Justin Rigali on Tuesday, sending him into retirement as the archdiocese faces accusations that it covered up a long-running priest sex abuse scandal.
The pope named conservative Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput to succeed him.
I will be watching this sinc I heard word that Rigali will retire - of all places - to eastern Tennessee. Not that surprising - our current bishop here, Richard Stika, is his protege.
Philadelphia is lucky - Chaput is a dynamic bishop, whose writings I enjoy reading.
