The Diocese of Rochester has a new Bishop! Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Salvatore R. Matano as the new shepherd, and I would imagine many tears of joy glisten upon the cheeks of the faithful. Online buzz has already honed in on the fact that Bishop Matano has celebrated the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, and to many, this news brings great joy.
