Bishop off the board
WHNT-TV, Huntsville, AL: Next pope to appoint new bishop for north Alabama
One of the last matters John Paul II took care of was to permit the retirement of David Foley, Bishop of the Diocese of Birmingham. For now, they get to wait until a new pope can name a new bishop.

Same for Honolulu. In addition we have Father Damien waiting for full sainthood (would that be "in the wings?").

Why can't I stop thinking about that Monty Python skit? "Vicar! Don't baptize that baby!"
I didn't realize Fr. Damien was up for canonization, Linkmeister. I'm so glad.

That would be excellent. But he's probably behind some Nazi sympathizers and all-purpose anti-Semites.

Well, not quite. But there's a review going on, which has slowed things down.
