Baby Bishops!

The Bolletino informs us that the Romanian Greek Catholic Church have nominated two new auxiliary bishops, and these nominations have been approved by the Holy Father. One of them - Mihai Cătălin Fraţila - was born on the 10th of December 1970, making him the youngest Catholic Bishop in the world, and the first Bishop to have a birthdate in the 1970s. His colleague, Vasile Bizău, the current rector of the Pio-Romanian College here in Rome becomes the 2nd youngest bishop and is just over a year older than Fraţila.

Ad multos annos!

(My readers are, I think, entitled to feel ancient when hearing of such young bishops.)
