Ranjith, Archbishop of Colombo
DiNoia, Secretary of CDW

As predicted for over a year, Archbishop Malcolm Ranjith, the embattled Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, was named today Archbishop of Colombo, the main diocese of his native Sri Lanka.

His substitute had been mentioned for almost a month: American theologian Fr. Joseph Augustine DiNoia, O. P., up to now undersecretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
