Rumors of Fr. George Koovakad being appointed as Archbishop of Bombay

Fr. George Koovakad is a priest of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. It would be very unusual for him to be appointed as a bishop of a Latin diocese such as the Archdiocese of Bombay. Sources within the Syro-Malabar Church say that he will remain in a position in the Holy See. Red Rocks and Sage Bush (talk) 18:45, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It really shouldn't be difficult to allow two or more reporters' accounts to stand side by side. An experienced Vatican reporter says:

Koovakad has served in the Vatican's diplomatic service since 2006 and it would be highly unusual for him to remain in his current post upon being elevated as a cardinal. The 51-year-old native of Kerala, India, has been rumored as a potential successor to Bombay Cardinal Oswald Gracias, a longtime close adviser to Francis who will turn 80 in December, and, according to church law, loses his right to participate in a conclave.

I get that you don't agree and that you prefer a different source, but I see no reason to ignore the work of Christopher White at the National Catholic Reporter. He's a quality source and his reporting should be included at least until someone--someone other than you--says that the speculation he reports is not credible. Your perspective doesn't trump a quality source.

That's the last I'll say on the subject since you edit first and discuss afterwards, which is far from respectful. Rutsq (talk) 22:37, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of arms added on 21 October 2024

I'm just wondering why it looks like the coat of arms of an archbishop. Has Fr. George already been promoted to the archbishop rank? always learning 00:14, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He is being consecrated as an archbishop on November 24. Red Rocks and Sage Bush (talk) 18:14, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
