...and as far as I know, Bishop Flores has not yet been confirmed to be his replacement.

On a separate note, Bishop Flores was the celebrant at the ordination I attended earlier this year of two new Jesuit priests, and he is a very gifted homilist.

I'm not seeing anything concrete there about replacing the cardinal, just speculation.

[...]

Thankfully, Dolan submitted his "obligatory retirement letter" to Pope Francis earlier this year when he turned 75. Pope Leo will now get to pick his successor.

According to Hale, the "top candidate" is Bishop Daniel Flores who is stationed in Texas and has carved out a reputation for himself by confronting gun violence and the border "crisis."

[...]

Please retweet and ❤️ if you hope that Pope Leo replaces Cardinal Dolan ASAP!

"Kirk called Leo's predecessor Francis a 'Marxist who calls himself the head of your church.'..Kirk also went after Leo, stating that he 'was retweeting George Floyd propaganda' before he became Pope." Kirk's words need to be shared so people will know who he was.

Why do his admirers steadfastly refuse to repeat any of the things Kirk actually said? What are they afraid of? Merely giving voice to Kirk's words has become some sort of bizarre MAGA taboo, like not speaking Voldemort's name.
