Yesterday Pope Francis named the new bishop of Toledo, OH - Bishop Daniel Thomas, Auxiliary Bishop of Philadelphia. I had the privilege of working along side Bishop Thomas for five years when we were both Officials at the Congregation for Bishops in Rome. The Archbishop of Philadelphia, Archbishop Chaput, said that the appointment "demonstrates the confidence our Holy Father has in Bishop Thomas' pastoral and administrative skills." I couldn't agree more.
As some of you may know, the comedian and actor Danny Thomas was raised in Toledo. I would like to think that Toledo now has the better Danny Thomas! Let us pray for the new bishop of Toledo.
