Pope Francis names new archbishop of St. Louis, replacing retiring Carlson

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has named Springfield, Massachusetts Bishop Mitchell Rozanski as the next archbishop of St. Louis, a diocese long associated with the conservative wing of the U.S. church.

Rozanski replaces Archbishop Robert J. Carlson, who reached the mandatory retirement age of 75 last year and submitted his resignation to the pope. The Vatican said Wednesday that Francis had accepted it and named Rozanski to succeed him.

Rozanski will become the 10th archbishop of St. Louis since the St. Louis Diocese was elevated to an archdiocese in 1847.

Rozanski, 61, is considered a moderate and is taking over an archdiocese that has long been led by conservatives: Prior to Carlson, St. Louis was headed by now-Cardinal Raymond Burke, a leading point of reference for conservatives in the U.S. and beyond.

And prior to Burke, St. Louis was headed by now-Cardinal Justin Rigali, who went onto head the archdiocese of Philadelphia.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

My suggestion is to make some calls to his former parishoners in Springfield. You will find out if he has greater aspirations and what his goals are. He looks like he was only in Springfield for six years.

Our previous bishop was from New Orleans and is now an Archbishop in Mobile. Everyone of these guys has some sort of agenda, although they ALL say they just want to be a parish priest. Some want to end in Rome.

While I have issues with Michael Voris, his site is usually pretty thorough. I found three recent articles involving Bishop Rozanski.

Looks like St. Louis is not getting another Cdl Burke. Frown
