Congratulations to Bishop Sample of Marquette who has been appointed as Metropolitan Archbishop of Portland, Oregon. At 52, he is the youngest Archbishop in the US (at 45, he was the youngest Bishop in the US.) Bishop Sample is know for his podcasts and tweets, and for ordaining the Deacons last year at the FSSP seminary in Lincoln, Nebraska. He is Bishop known for fortitude and clear teaching in the public square.
Some modern Liturgy buffs used to (perhaps still do) talk about how we must not use "thimble symbols." So they encouraged priests and bishops to slosh around cup-loads of holy oil, baptise by immersion, and use a large bowl and bath-towel at the lavabo. So if you hear a modern liturgist complain about Bishop Sample's splendid mitre in the picture above, just tell them that it is not a "thimble symbol."

Father John Boyle of Caritas in Veritate tells me the Bishop will be greatly missed in Marquette where Fr John is currently serving.
The "splendour" of this mitre, dear Father, is greatly exaggerated.
What's wrong with baptism by immersion?
To be honest I think, the only real problem with it is that it usually isn't conducted reverently as it should be. Liturgically theres the problem of the priest gets wet and then you've got a wet born-again Catholic dripping around the Curch....
Dear Father Finigan, I don't know if he also ordained for the FSSP, however this picture was taken July 4, 2012 at the ICRSS International Seminary when Marquette ordained five deacons and ten sub-deacons. I am strong supporter of the Institute so rejoiced when he visited and stayed for the whole ordination week!
Well, I just found out this wonderful news right now on your site and am stunned and happy!!! I had written him in October and told him how much I'd hoped he could come to the coast. Sadly it's north of me but at least now he's in the same time zone! I am so pleased at this news!!!!

More exclamation marks to show joy and excitement!!!!!!!!
I live in one of the Archbishop-elect's suffragan dioceses, which has been crushed under the iron heel of liberalism for decades. I hope this portends coming changes for the better!
