The intrepid Rocco Palmo of Whispers in the Loggia has inside information that "Pope Benedict will name Jose Gomez, 58, archbishop of San Antonio since February 2005, as coadjutor-archbishop of Los Angeles." Read it all here ... As Rocco points out, the Archbishop is a member of Opus Dei.

Thomas Peters has an important clarification from Archbishop Burke concerning how he was misled about how his comments yesterday would be used . Whispers in the Loggia seems to have "sourced" the story earlier at 10:30 .

Rocco Palmo has another exclusive on a story which will appear in the Catholic Review, the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The author of the article is His Excellency, Archbishop Edwin O'Brien, and the article deals with the Freedom of Choice Act. Read this important article here . Here is just a snippet: A threat to all life, this legislation would also have a terrible impact on Catholic and other pro-life healthcare providers. Of particular note: FOCA trumps state laws that protect rights of providers (e.g. Catholic hospitals, pharmacists, etc.) to conscientiously object to performing abortions if such state laws are seen to in any way “interfere” with a woman’s decision to have an abortion. FOCA undermines the freedom of religion upon which our country was founded. I pledge that we will join with other all law-abiding religious and public interest groups in taking every action necessary to resist this blatant attempt to stifle the consciences of those w...

I watched part of the morning session on EWTN. As a reminder, day 2 is being shown tomorrow beginning at 9 AM EST and again at 2 PM. Rocco Palmo, as always, does a masterful job summarizing the feel of the Conference and the topic that everyone feels in a palpable fashion: will the Bishops handle the "subtleties" of "Faithful Citizenship" more directly if at all ? This is a great read as always.

And then there was this ... Rocco got the breaking story from Dan Burke of Religion News Service .

It' On (Senator Biden, "incoming"...) For Wilmington's New Bishop, Fran Frenzy (God be with you, Your Excellency!) Newark's Humble "Healing Bishop" On the Move (a new Archbishop of Florence as predicted yesterday) A Month On, "Great Sadness"... and Patient Endurance (the Marian Days accident)

No posting until this afternoon. I have a baptism to attend. In the meantime, Rocco Palmo nicely sums up the confirmation on the Liturgical translations . There has been no confirmation yet of the CWNews.com story concerning "pro multis" being translated as "for many." I pray that story didn't "jump the gun!" I've been praying for that change for years!

Whispers in the Loggia >> "No Vacancy Left Behind" Continues (Another U.S. Bishop to be named according to Rocco Palmo...) The Hermeneutic of Continuity >> He is real..and he is among us (a link to an interview with Fr. Tom Euteneuer about exorcism) AmericanPapist >> AmP on the road...the Baltimore Basilica and more (I missed this story from Wednesday; I'm glad that Mr. Peters got a chance to visit Baltimore and was able to see St. Alphonsus Church too!)

Rocco Palmo of Whispers in the Loggia releases some of his usually reliable "insider information." He anticipates the appointment soon of the Western Vicar of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, H.E. Auxiliary Bishop W. Francis Malooly, as Bishop of Wilmington, DE . We'll need to see next week if it is really official.

Charlotte was Both >> More on St. Louis (Amy Wellborn praises the Archdiocese of St. Louis for its "press savvy" in terms of its Archdiocesan paper and in getting ahead of stories by posting press releases and press notices on the Archdiocesan website. It is a practice worth noting as she points out. See below...) Whispers in the Loggia >> More Burke (Rocco Palmo does a really nice job handling this breaking story--as usual)

Rocco Palmo of " Whispers in the Loggia " discusses the US Conference of Bishops . To cite Mr. Palmo: "In keeping with longstanding tradition, however, no meeting of the body would be complete without some showdown on the liturgy -- a topic that, in recent years, has focused on the approval of a new wholesale translation of the Roman Missal, which current projections seem to be eyeing for implementation in late 2010."
