The next leader of the Roman Catholic Church could well come from Africa or Latin America… that’s the view of Springfield’s Catholic bishop, Thomas John Paprocki.
Paprocki was named bishop by Pope Benedict in 2010.
Now that Benedict has announced that he will retire this month, Paprocki hopes the Church will choose someone young and “media-savvy” to energize Catholics and keep them engaged in the faith.
