New U.S. Nuncio: a Return to the Age of Jadot

 Edit: another Olde Liberal appointment, as we reported earlier, Archbishop Christopher Pierre will surely bring more awful appointments to the American scene. NCR correctly recalls Jadot, who did so much to undermine the Catholic Church in the U.S. after the tragic Council.

VATICAN CITY

Pope Francis has replaced the Vatican’s ambassador to the United States just days after he was lauded by the country's bishops at their seminary in Rome during a posh annual honors banquet.

Italian Archbishop Carlo Viganò -- who has represented the Vatican in Washington since 2011 but came under scrutiny when his name surfaced last year in questions over how Francis came to meet controversial Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis during his September U.S. trip -- will be succeeded by French Archbishop Christophe Pierre.

The replacement of what is formally known as the apostolic nuncio to the United States, which had been rumored for months, was announced by the Vatican Tuesday. Viganò had turned 75, the traditional retirement age for Catholic bishops, in January.
