James Conley, who was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in the Diocese of Wichita, has been named the bishop of Lincoln, Neb., by Pope Benedict XVI.
Conley has spent the past four years as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Denver.
“I am honored, and humbled, by this appointment,” Conley told the Denver Catholic Register. “There is nothing more important for a bishop than the care of souls.”
Conley said he needed to rely on God’s grace “for this great responsibility.”
