As "predicted" by our friend "Whispers" in one of yesterday's postings, the current Bishop of Knoxville will be packing up his mitre and crosier for a move to the Archdiocese of Louisville (KY). Archbishop Joseph Kurtz was raised just a little northeast of DC in Shenandoah, PA. It is from that neighborhood that the Jesuit, Fr. Walter Ciszek, SJ, grew up. He was the Jesuit imprisoned in Russia for years during the days of WWII. I worked with a classmate of his while at the Papal Foundation. The Archbishop was always mentioned as a truly holy priest. In August he will celebrate his 59th birthday. Looks like the Holy Spirit did not take a day off today!Tuesday, June 12, 2007
And the winner is.....Bishop Kurtz!
