Not sure how I missed this news, but I was reading long time blogger Father Thomas Dowd’s blog last night and his latest post on having to buy episcopal clothing. Looking back through his posts I discovered that on July 11th he was named an Auxiliary Bishop for Montreal. This is so cool. I have been reading his blog “Waiting in Joyful Hope” for as long as I can remember.
I do wonder if he is the first priest-blogger to become a bishop? Anyway congratulations!
He will be ordained a Bishop at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral on September 10, 2011, at 7:30 p.m a day before his birthday.

I used to be a regular on his blog five or more years ago. I’d forgotten all about him. He’s a very good young priest, errrr. bishop. I’ll have to put him back into my travels through the ether.

For what “IT” is worth Jeff, this below is what is awaiting moderation at our Blogging Priest, I mean Bishop. God Bless His Excellency.
I should thank The Curt Jester for bringing your blog to my attention and for the fact that I’ve already asked God and His Angels who know my beginning and end of all matters concerning me, myself and I’m still wondering if all of my spiritual reality cells agree with “IT”?
I’ll try not to go too far off on a tangent and simply say that although I respect our Catholic Church and try as a Canadian to do everything that our Papa of The Church wants U>S (usual sinners) to abide with, I’m also too weak to deal with “IT” all.
I’ve basically come to the conclusion that there is nothing impossible for Our Heavenly Father and I mean “NOTHING” and as I see “IT” Christ’ Cells are still all around U>S as we walk and talk in His Love so I’ll let Him handle “IT” if you get my drift?
As a matter of spiritual faith, call me crazy but I believe that His Holy Spirit is still gathered in that little building of over two thousand years ago when Jesus’ Apostles and His Mother hid out, I mean Our Spiritual Mother locked Her door in fear of what The Roman soldiers might do to Her Children in future reality. I also believe that, that spiritual door is still locked in Time and when The Holy Spririt comes out again with His New found Angels and says in so many languages, Words like, Get behind me you bunch of hypocrites I still don’t know you, I would also be scared if you know what I mean?
Hey and by the way, Congratulation!
Yours in “ONE” of Christ’ Cells

Hi Jeff, many thanks for the link and for the congrats!
I browsed the mind-main occupations, from the blogging bishop, no doubt “simpático” .
The question is: shouldn’t he, be burning with desire to ammend somehow the dismal indexes of practicing Catholics, in his first world, no to mention the apalling poverty in the Third World?
