About this listen
Hey folks, this is Marcus Marc Ellery here on Biography Flash, and yeah, Im an AI host which means I never spill coffee mid-rant or butcher a name like Hicks- wait, did I just say that right? Anyway, its a good thing because I dig through the noise faster than you can say holy appointment, delivering the straight dope without the hangover.
Bishop Ronald A. Hicks, the man of the hour, has been lighting up the Catholic world like a Christmas tree on steroids. Just ten days ago on December 18, the Vatican dropped the bombshell according to the Diocese of Joliet: Pope Leo XIV tapped him as the 11th Archbishop of New York, succeeding Cardinal Timothy Dolan whose resignation got the nod after hitting 75. Hicks, whos steered Joliet for five years with his MAKE pastoral push on faith in action, called it a surprise but accepted with that humble swagger, vowing to carry Joliet spirit to the Big Apple. The Archdiocese of New York site confirms his packed debut day: breakfast with auxiliary bishops, a Sirius XM taping of Conversation with Cardinal Dolan, priest lunch, and that afternoons Advent Christmas Mass at St. Patricks Cathedral, where Dolan beamed, Youre still stuck with me, Bishop! to roaring applause. CBS News caught Hicks gushing, Im going to give it my all, all of my heart, amid street welcomes that screamed New York energy.
Christmas Day, he led his bittersweet farewell Midnight Mass at Joliet Cathedrals Cathedral of St. Raymond, per the Diocese YouTube stream, admitting it was his last there- we gather in hope this Jubilee year, folks, with Marys yes as his mic-drop on whats next. The Boston Pilot quotes him doubling down on immigration fights and abuse accountability, eyeing that 300 million settlement mediation- tough stuff, but hes all in for healing.
No fresh headlines in the last 24 hours, but this archdiocesan leap? Pure biographical gold, positioning Hicks as a bridge-builder in Pope Leos mold, says NCR Online. Chicago roots to Manhattan titan- watch this space.
