Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."

Re-shaping the hierarchy, part III
Today's appointment of Bishop John Nienstedt of New Ulm, Minnesota, as co-adjutor to Archbishop Harry Flynn of St. Paul-Minneapolis, who turns 75 in May of 2008, is the cause for today's hierarchy update. Updating last week's post, the number of vacant U.S. dioceses increases to eight, bringing to 26 the number of Roman Rite dioceses in the United States that are vacant, have bishops over the retirement age of 75, or whose bishop will turn 75 within the next 12 months.
