With the appointment of Bishop-Elect Paul Joseph Swain to the See of Sioux Falls, that means that H.E. Samuel Aquila, Bishop of Fargo, is no longer to be the Apostolic Administrator of Sioux Falls.
Right?

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Do you mean, Father, that he might be available to take on another neighboring diocese in addition to Fargo?
Ray: Additional? Certainly not!
You will tell me first won’t you Father? :)
I suspect (but I don’t know for certain) that Bishop Aquila would remain the Apostolic Administrator until the ordination/installation of Bishop-elect Swain.
