NEW YORK CITY (TIP): Pope Leo XIV has announced fellow Chicagoan, Bishop Ronald Hicks of Joliet, Ill., will serve as the next archbishop of New York, replacing Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who has led the state’s 2.8 million Catholics for more than 15 years, says a New York Daily News report. “I accept this appointment with humility and an open heart,” Hicks said. “I ask for your support and your prayers, and I ask God to support us as always.”
Born in Harvey, Ill., Hicks grew up in South Holland, not far from the Chicago suburb of Dalton, where the pontiff was raised. They “played in the same parks, went swimming in the same pools, liked the same pizza places” he told WG9 earlier this year, when Leo began his tenure as leader of the Catholic church. Their similarities extend to much of their ideologies as well.
Like Leo, Hicks has embraced a more welcoming and inclusive vision of Catholicism, in part inspired by the late Pope Francis, with a specific focus on social justice. Hicks has also already shown a willingness to push back against the Trump administration.
