Vatican Insider 101026 Bishop Daniel Thomas pt 2

Welcome to a new edition of Vatican Insider – lots of news this week, and some really great stories, and the best one may well be my conversation with a friend of many years, Bishop Daniel Thomas of Toledo, Ohio! Part II this weekend….. After years of promising to visit Toledo, my trip to Ohio finally happened on September 20th, spending 9 wonderful days (as you read on my blog yesterday) with friends of many years and making a lot of new friends along the way! Bishop Thomas and I have been friends since 1991 when we both worked in Rome at the Vatican, along with other American priests whom Pope John Paul had called to Rome, a number of whom, like Fr. Thomas, have since become bishops, names you’d know such as Archbishops Bernard Hebda and Salvatore Cordileone, and many others!
