Fr. Louis, of course, being Thomas Merton — who might raise an eyebrow over the historic naming of a Trappist to be a bishop.

From Whispers:

On Saturday, the Pope named Dom Yvon Moreau, abbot of Notre Dame du Lac Monastery at Oka (near Montreal) as bishop of his home diocese of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatiere, situated along the province’s eastern edge.

Ordained for the diocese in 1968, the 67 year-old bishop-elect excardinated from it to join the Order of the Cistercians of Strict Observance — as the Trappists are formally known — sixteen years later. In 1990, months after making his final profession in the community, Moreau was elected the fourth head of the Oka house. Before joining the community, he spent most of his ministry in education, including four years as a seminary professor in Nicaragua.
