New York has been waiting for some time, like Detroit which just had His Excellency, Allen H. Vigneron take the helm. Cardinal Egan is ready for retirement and all eyes are on this forthcoming change.

Names often cited as Egan’s possible successor include Archbishop Harry Mansell of Hartford, Archbishop Timothy Dolan of Milwaukee, Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta, Archbishop John Myers of Newark, Archbishop Roberto Gonzalez Nieves of San Juan.Missing from that list is one that I thought for sure would be on it, was Archbishop Chaput of Denver. There had been speculation that he might fit in well in New York.
