Just a few notes from here and there:
\nMike Aquilina speaks highly of DiNardo:<\/a><\/p>\n

Pope Benedict named a gaggle of new cardinals today<\/a>. Two are from the United States, and one of those men, Archbishop Daniel DiNardo<\/a> of Galveston-Houston (Texas), is a patrologist. He earned his license in patristics at the Pontifical University Augustinianum in Rome. I know no other preacher who produces quotations from the Fathers so readily, from memory. (Back in the day when he was a pastor, I saw him do this at baptisms, funerals, ordinary Sunday Masses, and gatherings of Catholic school teachers.) He is, as you can probably guess, a Pittsburgh priest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some others with connections to the Archdiocese and to Texas react:
\nMichael Joseph at Vox Nova<\/a>
\nTaylor Marshall at Canterbury Tales<\/a>
\nFr. Christopher Phillips of Atonement Anglican Use Parish in San Antonio<\/a> – and this gives me an excuse to encourage you to head over there and look at the photos of the parish’s recent pilgrimage to Rome. Lovely stuff, especially with the school’s students in their neat, crisp uniforms!
\nLast spring, Katie went to the National Tournament of the National Catholic Forensic League in Houston. There was a Saturday evening Mass, and the Archbishop presided and preached. Katie declared him “cool” because he drew on his own experience as a high school debater, and even had some of his old cards, I think, to show.
\nAmusing story about Archbishop Foley today:<\/a><\/p>\n

U.S. Cardinal-designate John P. Foley, a Philadelphia native, was standing in the middle of St. Peter’s Square among a sea of 30,000 pilgrims when Pope Benedict XVI named him a cardinal.
\nThough he knew the previous day he was going to be one of 23 people to receive a red hat, the Oct. 17 announcement was going to fall on the same morning he had a follow-up visit with his eye doctor.
\n“I didn’t get back in time to be there at the beginning of the audience and I didn’t have my glad rags on,” meaning his formal clerical dress, so he said he just snuck inconspicuously into the middle of the crowd.
\nHe told Catholic News Service he never expected to be the second new cardinal listed after the senior Vatican prefect, Cardinal-designate Leonardo Sandri.
\nWhen the pope “started the list there I was No. 2 on the list and that was a surprise,” Cardinal-designate Foley said.
\nHe said a pilgrim standing next to him asked him if he knew any of the men the pope had just named to be cardinal.
\n“I said ‘Yes, I know quite a few of them.’ And I said ‘I am one of them,’ Well, I don’t think he believed me,” he said laughing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
