New episcopal appointments: Wuerl to Washington, Sartain to Joliet

American Papist has 'em both covered: Wuerl and Sartain. I think most folks in St. Blog's, like me, have mixed feelings about Bishop Wuerl, but I also think he's a fair sight better than Ted McCarrick! Consensus seems to be he got it b/c of his involvement with Catholic U and his strong pro-life stance (unlike, um, other cardinal-archbishops of Washington we could name, ahem). Seems kinda sad he's only got nine years at the helm, though. Hope he makes good use of it, with God's help.
