CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis named five priests of the Archdiocese of Chicago—Fathers Timothy O’Malley, Lawrence Sullivan, José Maria Garcia Maldonado, Robert Fedek, and John Siemianowski—as auxiliary bishops there.
The archdiocese currently has three active auxiliary bishops, in addition to five retired auxiliary bishops.
Thus Chicago, an archdiocese of 2.1 million Catholics, will have eight auxiliary bishops—more than the Archdioceses of Lagos (3.3 million Catholics, no auxiliary bishops), Los Angeles (4.0 million Catholics, six auxiliary bishops), Manila (2.8 million Catholics, no auxiliary bishops), Mexico City (4.9 million Cathlics, six auxiliary bishops), Milan (4.9 million Catholics, three auxiliary bishops), New York (2.8 million Catholics, five auxiliary bishops), and São Paulo (5.1 million Catholics, six auxiliary bishops).
