    Loved it. Even though it is Lent, a little humor can also help to shed some light. A few quibbles with the “official” speak, but well worth viewing and sharing.

    Two inaccuracies in the report:

    (a) The Apostolic Nuncio does not send just one name to Rome but three.
    (b) It’s the Congregation for Bishops, not the Congress of Bishops.

    Apart from that, a good summary of the process.

    BTW, the commentator does not mention what happens when the name of a prospective bishop nominated by the Congregation for Bishops is intercepted on its way to the pope and another name is substituted, as happened in a recent well-known case.
