 <\/strong>Pope Benedict XVI named Bishop Kazimierz Nycz the new archbishop of Warsaw, the Polish Episcopate said in a statement Saturday.<\/p>\n

Nycz, the 57-year-old bishop of Koszalin-Kolobrzeg in northern Poland, replaces former Warsaw Archbishop Stanislaw Wielgus, who abruptly resigned at what was to be his opulent installation Mass on Jan. 7 after admitting he cooperated with the communist-era secret police.<\/p>\n

However, Nycz is widely seen as holding an inscrutable record under communism. John Paul nominated him bishop of Krakow in 1988, where Nycz later organized the last three visits of the Polish-born pope to his homeland.<\/p>\n

In 2004, John Paul named Nycz the bishop of Koszalin on the Baltic Sea coast.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
