This morning the Holy See announced the decision of Pope Benedict XVI to accept the retirement of Bishop Ricardo Ramirez, C.S.B. and to name Bishop Oscar Cantú as Bishop of Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA.

Bishop Cantú had been serving as Auxiliary Bishop of San Antonio, Texas.

A first! The first time I'm older than a bishop who heads a diocese! Must be getting old.
