...announced on Monday to lead the archdiocese arrives well equipped for the job. Timothy Dolan, 59, who has been in charge of the Milwaukee Archdiocese since 2002, has long been considered among the most likable and loquacious senior American prelates. In the late 1990s, while serving as rector of the Pontifical North American College, the largest English-speaking seminary in Rome, he was a major man about town and go-to guy for U.S. journalists covering the Vatican, at ease sharing a beer or providing simple words to explain complicated Church doctrine...

And Robinson, 61, a chatty, gray-haired Kentuckian who once said he looked forward to being a "June bride," was blackballed from Lambeth (which will convene in Canterbury) because Williams felt that the Episcopal church in the U.S. had made him a bishop...
