New Apostolic Nuncio...
The New Apostolic Nuncio to the United States seems to have a very big interest in the Formation of Priests. This is something which the United States needs at this moment in time, with the formation in many seminaries less then adequate. This also helps the Pontifical College Josephinum because of its special tie to the Nuncio as its Ordinary (because of the Pontifical Status, it is not tied to any Diocese but is subject directly to the Holy See through the Apostolic Nuncio). I hope he takes a special interest there, as it is the Seminary I attend and Archbishop Montalvo never seemed to take much of an interest there.
The New Nuncio also has an interest in Catholic Higher Education, which is something this country needs help in as well. Many of the main Catholic Universities of this country are full of heresies and less then orthodox professors.
He is also a man of peace as he helped negotiate at the Basilica of the Nativity when Palestinians stormed the Basilica to avoid capture by the Israeli Police. I believe it lasted more then a month. This is a man the United States needs. He criticized and praised the Israelis when they deserved it, and he likewise did the same thing for the Palestinians. He seems to be a man of truth, and will tell it how it is no matter who you are. Something which will benefit the United States.
He seems, from my early perspective, to be the perfect fit for this country. He will help in areas of the Church that are lacking here, and he will help our country is areas that are lacking. I am impressed with the choice. I am glad that Pope Benedict is finally moving on American appointments, for a few months there was nothing. It appears the flood gates of appointments have been opened up on the United States. Hopefully a Bishop for Youngstown will be named soon.
