The naming of Bishop Ronald A. Hicks to be the next Roman Catholic archbishop of New York is one of the most anticipated decisions of Pope Leo’s young papacy, his first major move indicating the direction he wants the church to take in his home country. Bishop Hicks is scheduled to be installed as archbishop on Feb. 6 at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
Both Bishop Hicks and Pope Leo grew up in Chicago’s south suburbs — the bishop at 155th and Woodlawn, and the pope seven minutes’ drive north at 141st and Indiana.
But unlike Pope Leo, Bishop Hicks roots for the Chicago Cubs, not the White Sox.
