Secretary named for Divine Worship Congregation
17-06-2009
VATICAN CITY, JUNE 16, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI appointed Dominican Father Joseph Di Noia as secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, elevating him at the same time to the dignity of archbishop.
The Vatican press office announced the appointment today of the New York-born archbishop-designate, who is currently serving as the undersecretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
He succeeds Archbishop Albert Malcolm Ranjith, who was named as head of the Archdiocese of Colombo, Sri Lanka, succeeding Archbishop Oswald Gomis, who is retiring for reasons of age.
Joseph Di Noia was born in New York in 1943, and was ordained a priest in 1970.
He worked as editor of the magazine "Thomist" and was the founding director of the intercultural forum at the John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington, D.C.
Father Di Noia served as secretary of the doctrinal commission for the U.S. bishops' conference and later as a member of the International Theological Commission while it was headed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.
The archbishop-designate wrote "The Diversity of Religions," and co-authored "The Love That Never Ends: A Key to the Catechism of the Catholic Church" with Gabriel O'Donnell, Romanus Cessario and Peter Cameron.
