✣ Papal appointment shakes up US church
What happened?
Indianapolis Archbishop Joseph Tobin was included in a batch of new cardinals last month in a surprise move that made him the small Midwestern diocese’s first cardinal.
In another twist on Monday, it was announced that Cardinal-designate Tobin would become the new Archbishop of New Jersey. He replaces Archbishop John Myers, who is retiring aged 75. This will be one of the few occasions where a cardinal has been moved between dioceses in recent history.
