The Bishops' Conference of England and Wales yesterday elected Archbishop Nichols as its President. If as stated in the Zenit report, the decision was 'unanimous' then it is a cause for great relief. Not so welcome in some quarters may be the allocation of other responsibilities, e.g. Christian Responsibility and Citizenship; Evangelisation and Catechesis; and International affairs.
See Zenit for full report and Archbishop Nichols' response to his election.

I'm surprised to learn that this post is filled by voting but delighted that it was described as unanimous. I always presumed that the Archbishop of every country presided over the Bishops Conference as head as a right with his office - as Cardinal 23 does in France. I had no idea they had to be voted in!
Like you I am a bit worried about one of the other posts ....
Pelerin:
Catechesis??!!
Exactly!
d'accord!!
