CWN Editor's Note: At their fall meeting in Baltimore, the US bishops elected Archbishop Bernard Hebda of Saint Paul and Minneapolis as treasurer-elect of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, as well as the chairman-elect of the Committee on Budget and Finance.
Archbishop Hebda defeated Bishop David Malloy of Rockford, Illinois, in a 156-84 vote. In 2017, Bishop Malloy banned the celebration of Mass ad orientem, as well as the celebration of Mass in the extraordinary form, in his diocese without his permission.
The bishops also selected five other chairmen-elect; they will assume the leadership of their committees after a year:
- Bishop Ronald Hicks of Joliet, Illinois, as chairman-elect of the Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life
- Auxiliary Bishop Michael Woost of Cleveland as chairman-elect of the Committee on Divine Worship
- Archbishop Shelton Fabre of Louisville as chairman-elect of the Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development
- Bishop Edward Burns of Dallas as chairman-elect of the Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth
- Bishop Brendan Cahill of Victoria, Texas, as chairman-elect of the Committee on Migration
