Meet Philly's New Archbishop
he'll make Danielle happy
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 12:35 PM
As Lisa indicated obliquely yesterday, the Pope has appointed a new archbishop of Philadelphia: Archbishop Chaput.
Here’s an interview he granted to John Allen about the appointment. I think you’ll find it interesting on many fronts, but here’s what’s really relevant for a certain blogmistress.
I’m going to have to become a Phillies fan, and an Eagles fan, and everything else in Philadelphia. I genuinely mean that, because I think it’s important for the bishop to embrace the sports teams that his people embrace. But I want you to know that all the time I’ve been a Broncos fan, I’ve secretly been a Steelers fan … I hope that doesn’t get me into trouble in Philadelphia!
I’m an old Pittsburgh guy. I was there for three Super Bowls that the Steelers won, and that made a permanent impression on me. Secretly, where it has to be hidden, I’m a Steelers fan, but I also want to embrace the local community.
Priorities!

My husband just posted his article covering this morning’s press conference at the Register:

Catholic high school students presented him not only with Philly snack foods, but also with an Eagles T-shirt and a Phillies cap.
While we’re not in his diocese, I’m excited to see the impact his leadership will bring to the region.

This Packers fan even finds this . . . what was the phrase Simcha used over at NCRegister that I found so clever . . . devastatingly adorable!
