New St. Louis Archbishop

[Phaedra7777]

Bishop Mitchell Rozanski of Springfield, Massachusetts will be replacing our Archbishop Carlson.
Anyone from Massachusetts familiar with him? Hoping he will be a good shepherd, but these days, you never know.

I don’t know much about him myself but from what I was reading earlier from some people he will be a departure from the style of the previous Archbishops in St. Louis. Take that for what you will.

Granted, most bishops only make the news when they do something negative, but he was recently in the news for his improper rules on anointing of the sick, then banning it altogether…

Thanks for reply. I was having trouble finding anything about him as my phone was acting up.

Yikes! That news article is not flattering!

Let us hope perhaps he learned something from the business with anointing of the sick.

He’s great. St. Louis is blessed to have him.
