"Hicks' personality is different from Dolan's,"
"He won't be shy, and at the same time he will also bring a seriousness and willingness to learn that's likely to help him on a local level that will be different from Dolan's larger-than-life persona."
"We grew up literally in the same radius, in the same neighborhood together. We played in the same parks, went swimming in the same pools, liked the same pizza places to go to,"
Pope Leo XIV named Bishop Ronald A. Hicks of Joliet, Illinois, to lead the Archdiocese of New York, succeeding Cardinal Timothy Dolan after Dolan submitted his resignation at age 75. Hicks, 58, aligns with Pope Francis' welcoming and inclusive approach and emphasizes social justice. Hicks and Leo share Midwestern roots and personal neighborhood ties. Observers note Hicks' different personality from Dolan's larger-than-life, bluff style and expect Hicks to bring seriousness and a willingness to learn. Hicks served from 2005 to 2010 in El Salvador as regional director of Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos, working with orphans and abandoned children.
