Having just returned from Rome 10 days ago, this is a (nice) surprise as it wasn't even a part of the Roman gossip mill as most everything Vatican usually is.  Kudos to Pope Francis for that!  These appointments are indeed a cause of joy as each one is not only a devoted bishop of the Church, but is known to be thoughtful and pastoral and prayerful, as well as above the ideological fray.  They are, as all of +Francis' appointments of bishops and cardinals, just what the universal Church needs.  God bless Pope Francis.
