In LA, The "Premiere"

Here, from the seat of the largest diocese American Catholicism has ever known – LA's Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels – the on-demand fullvid of this morning's presser introducing the three auxiliaries named today for the 5 million-member mega-fold: Bishops-elect Joseph Brennan, David O'Connell and Robert Barron... all conspicuously wearing replicas of Pope Francis' pectoral cross.

En respuesta a una pregunta en español, Don José dijo que la ordenación sería "en los primeros de septiembre," su fecha no ya elegido. El Arzobispo también dijo que los encargados de sus nuevos auxiliares serán determinados durante las semanas próximas.

About Me

One of global Catholicism's most prominent chroniclers, Rocco Palmo has held court as the "Church Whisperer" since 2004, when the pages you're reading were launched with an audience of three, grown since by nothing but word of mouth, and kept alive throughout solely by means of reader support.

A former US correspondent for the London-based international Catholic weekly The Tablet, he's been a church analyst for The New York Times, Associated Press, Washington Post, Reuters, Los Angeles Times, BBC, NBC, CNN and NPR among other mainstream print and broadcast outlets worldwide.

A native of Philadelphia, Rocco Palmo attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. In 2010, he received a Doctorate of Humane Letters honoris causa from Aquinas Institute of Theology in St Louis.

In 2011, Palmo co-chaired the first Vatican conference on social media, convened by the Pontifical Councils for Culture and Social Communications. By appointment of Archbishop Charles Chaput OFM Cap., he's likewise served on the first-ever Pastoral Council of the Archdiocese, whose Church remains his home.
