More on Bishop Boyea

Pope Benedict's appointment of bishop Earl Boyea as the new Ordinary of the Diocese of Lansing has caught the attention of some of our favorite Catholic blogs. There is widespread enthusiasm for this appointment especially on account of the bishop's record of friendliness toward Tradition. As I believe I've mentioned, Lisa and I heard at least one Mass offered by him at St. Josaphat's in Detroit, where he offers the Traditional Latin Mass regularly. Here are some links to see what others are saying - a couple of days old already, of course, but no less interesting I hope.

The New Liturgical Movement
is featuring "An Inside View of the New Ordinary of Lansing, MI."

Fr. Z over at What Does the Prayer Really Say? reports on the "New Bishop for Lansing, MI."

Former classmate Thomas Peters, the American Papist himself, was the first source from which we learned the news: "Aux. Bp. Earl Boyea takes over Lansing Diocese."

Do you remember when you were there when he said mass? He looks very familiar, almost like I've seen him there before.

Jake,
The time that I remember most clearly was Easter morning last year, but Lisa says she thinks she remembers there being a bishop offering the Mass that we and you and Christa heard together.
