Kurtz collage

I haven't been able to post in what seems like a while so here is just a quick collage of articles on Archbishop-elect Joseph Kurtz:

First from Whispers (I'll quote Rocco before the "Co-Jo" [Courier-Journal] any day!)

-- Louisville Hits the Wire and 50,000:3 (on the outstanding ratio Kurtz presided over in Knoxville of Catholics to Ordinations)

From Archlou.org

-- June 12 Archdiocese of Louisville Press Conference – Television Schedule

-- Click here to view a video of the press conference (A Must See)

-- Vatican Press Release Announcing Appointment

-- Curriculum Vita (sic) of Most Rev. Joseph E. Kurtz, D.D.

-- Archdiocesan Fact Sheet

-- USCCB Backgrounder

More from The Record when it becomes available

And now... from the Co-Jo

-- Kelly's successor met with praise

-- Priests, colleagues embrace selection

-- The Archdiocese through the years (a typical crappy Co-Jo timeline)

-- Religious heads want continued ecumenism

-- Kurtz urged to meet with abuse victims

-- Churchgoers eager to meet new leader (Money quote: "Kevin Dougherty of Oldham County, who has been attending St. Louis Bertrand about 20 years, said he hopes Kurtz is 'orthodox and traditional.' " hehe)

-- 'Prayer sabbatical' awaits Kelly after brief transition

I still need to search the Blogosphere too...
