Most faithfully yours in Nto.
j. f. nTTANAL.
Just when the successor of Arch |
bishop Pitaval will be Cousecrated
archbishop is not known. Father
Daegar was in the city few days
ago and ii is assumed he conferred
with Archbishop PitaN al concerning
the affairs of the archdiocese. 1t is
thought that Father Daegar, will 60
to his old home, Cincinnati. and re-
main there until the date of his con-
secration. Whether he will be con-
secrated in Cincinnati or in Santa Fe
is a matter of conjecture. There are
precedents for a Roman Catholic
bishop, or archbishop, to be conse-
Grated in some other archdiocese than
the one in which he is to serve. It
may be several months before the
new archbishop Will he conseerated
land take office.
| The appointment of an administra
| tor to manage the affairs of the
archdiocese would indicate the desire
of Archbishop Pitaval to be relieved
of this work, but it is thought thar
the archbishop will remain here for
some time although he has issued no
announcement as TO his plans. The
archbishop resigned his hisl office
several months ago because, as he
stated. he felt that younger man
should assume the heavy obligations
imposed on the prelatc who has to
manage the archdiocese of SAINT Fee
by far the largest archdiocese in area
in the United States. In fact, it is
many times as large as many of the
archdioceses and travel in some parts
of it is accomplished only under great
difficulties.
