Peoria Bishop Reacts To Pope Selection

“He must be an extraordinary man”.  That’s Bishop Daniel Jenky reacting to the new pope.

In his official statement, Jenky said “the only way anyone assumes a job like that is an act of faith”.  He’s calling all Catholics and people of faith to pray for Pope Francis as he takes office in Rome.

Jenky says Francis is known for simplicity, holiness and charity.
