Pope replaces New York's Cardinal Dolan with pro-migrant bishop

Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of New York's conservative Archbishop Timothy Dolan and named a little-known, pro-migrant bishop from his native Chicago to replace him, the Vatican said Thursday.

In a significant shift for the Catholic Church in the United States, Leo replaced Dolan, who stepped down after reaching the Church's retirement age of 75, with Ronald Hicks, a 58-year-old bishop from Illinois.
