Author: MILWAUKEE – After nearly a nine-month wait, Pope Benedict XVI has made his decision on the head of the Catholic Church in Milwaukee.
La Crosse Bishop Jerome Listecki will serve the Archdiocese of Milwaukee as its new Archbishop.
According to the Archdiocesan web site, Bishop Listecki, 60, will take over the role in early January.
Bishop Listecki has overseen La Crosse’s diocesan operations since March of 2005.
Catholic blogger Rocco Palmo, who runs “Whispers in The Loggia,” was asked about Listecki when he was listed among a number of possible candidates.
“Bishop Listecki is known as a Canon lawyer, a civil lawyer, the most low profile, the biggest question mark,” said Palmo.
A news conference will happen at 10:00 a.m. Saturday with the new Archbishop.
