Su Santidad el Papa Leon XIV nombro esta manana al obispo James F. Checchio, obispo de la Diocesis de Metuchen, coma arzobispo coadjutor de Nueva Orleans. Segun el Derecho Canonico de la Iglesia, un obispo coadjutor es designado para asistir al obispo diocesano hasta su retiro. Esto significa que el actual arzobispo de Nueva Orleans, Gregory M. Aymond, continuara al frente de la arquidiocesis hasta que el Santo Padre acepte su renuncia. En ese momenta, sera automaticamente sucedido por el arzobispo coadjutor designado, Checchio.

According to the Church's Canon Law, a "Coadjutor" bishop is appointed to assist the diocesan bishop until his retirement. This means that New Orleans Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond will continue to lead the Archdiocese of New Orleans, until such time that the Holy Father accepts his resignation. When that happens, he will then be automatically succeeded by Archbishop-designate Checchio.

Bishop James F. Checchio has been appointed by Pope Leo XIV as a member of the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Clergy.
