WOW- Upset Election - Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York! Elected President of U.S. Bishops- Update Links!!

WOW what a upset!!! There will be a lot of news on this later. Will update this post later with links. It appears he was just elected 128-111 in third-ballot runoff with Kicanas.

Very happy with this result.

Update- Looking at the ole Twitter it appears the election of this new leadership to the Bishops Conference is getting quite a bit of notice beyond our shores.

Here is are some links. Rocco has his first post up on the Archbishop Dolan election at In Bishops' Shocker, TIM WINS!

Get Religion has jumped on this quickly at Catholic bishops deliver shocking upset ( avery well done piece for the news being so fresh)

The Deacon's Bench has initial some reaction to Archbishop Dolans ( and not lets forget the election of Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville) at BREAKING: Dolan elected head of USCCB

See Dolan not yet a cardinal, but a president

Archbishop Dolan had a immpressive Press Conference. I hope to link a transcript later.

Get Religion has another good thread here Open thread: What’s up with bishops coverage?

From across the Sea the Deputy Editor of the Irish Catholic has thoughts and shows some concern that Archbishop Dolan does not have too much on his plate because he is leading the of Ireland Apostolic Visitation too. See Some thoughts on Archbishop Dolan's appointment to lead the US Church
