CWN Editor's Note: In an unusually meteoric rise, a priest who directs a Catholic school in Milan has been named the head of an Italian archdiocese.
Pope Francis appointed Father Alberto Torriani, 53, as archbishop of Crotone-San Severino, located over 700 miles away from Milan. Father Torriani has been rector of the Collegio San Carlo, a primary and secondary school, since 2017.
Archbishop Mario Delpini of Milan said that “the moment of communication and the diocese of destination surprised Don Alberto and also me.”
