I am a poor shepherd, I have only a wretched stable, a small manger, some wisps of straw. I offer all these to you, be pleased to come into my poor hovel. Make haste, O Jesus, I offer you my heart; my soul is poor and bare of virtues, the straws of so many imperfections will prick you and make you weep - but O my Lord what can you expect? this little is all I have. - St. John XXIII

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV this morning appointed Bishop James F. Checchio, bishop of the Diocese of Metuchen, as the Coadjutor Archbishop of New Orleans. According to the Church's Canon Law, a "Coadjutor" bishop is appointed to assist the diocesan bishop until his retirement.
This means that New Orleans Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond will continue to lead the Archdiocese of New Orleans, until such time that the Holy Father accepts his resignation. When that happens, he will then be automatically succeeded by Archbishop-designate Checchio.
