Numerous outlets have extended their congratulations to Archbishop Broglio on being elected the next president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). I am not sure that the word "Congratulations!" is the most appropriate word to use in this context. I am not insinuating that "Accept my Condolences" are in order either. I guess I am looking more toward, "Our prayers go with you as you accept this new position of leadership."
Being the archbishop of the Military Services is a very unique role in and of itself. Adding this additional responsibility to his plate at 70 years of age is probably not exactly what he needed. (He will be 71 on December 22.)
I have served with Archbishop Timothy Broglio at the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation on a few occasions at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming. (If my recollection is correct, the above photo was taken in 2014.) Archbishop Broglio certainly brings a vast array of knowledge and experience to the table. I pray that he can help guide the USCCB to be a beacon of light in a hurting Church and in a hurting world.
Our Church is suffering in many ways. Pray for the Church. Pray for the leaders of the Church. Pray that all of us grow in holiness each and every day.
