After a nearly 10-month wait, Pope Benedict XVI has appointed Bishop Robert James Carlson of the Diocese of Saginaw, Mich., to lead the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
Archbishop-elect Carlson, 64, will become St. Louis’ 10th bishop and ninth archbishop. The Holy See’s press office made the announcement April 21 at 5 a.m. St. Louis time.
He succeeds Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, who was named prefect of the Apostolic Signatura in June 2008.
Archbishop-elect Carlson, who arrived in St. Louis late afternoon April 20, met with the Review April 21 for a one-on-one interview at the archdiocesan Catholic Center in the Central West End.
