Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez is awaiting a Papal Bull announcing his replacement as the Metropolitan Archbishop of Santo Domingo, reports El Caribe. “The Apostolic Nuncio, Jude Thaddeus Okolo, has completed the necessary consultations in each ecclesiastic province and the information gathered on the candidates to the position have been sent to the Holy See,” reported the source. “What is certain is that Cardinal Lopez Rodriguez will be replaced this year and has already been told of this, since the Nuncio has consulted the Archbishop-elect and he accepted his choice.”
