CHICAGO CARDINAL SUCCESSOR TO BE CHOSEN THIS FALL

The Archdiocese of Chicago says a successor to ailing Cardinal Francis George should be chosen this fall. The archdiocese put out a statement Thursday. It says that Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, Papal Nuncio to the United States, has informed George that he has started the consulting process to identify the cardinal's successor. The archdiocese says the process is expected to be completed in late fall. The 77-year-old George has recently undergone chemotherapy for a recurrence of cancer near his right kidney.
