NJ.com reported that sources close to the Newark archbishop said they expect him to announce Joseph W. Tobin, the archbishop of Indianapolis, as his successor.
Cardinal-designate Joseph W. Tobin, the archbishop of Indianapolis, could be the next leader of the Archdiocese of Newark, N.J.
NJ.com, the online affiliate of the Star-Ledger, reported Friday that three people close to the current Newark archbishop told the paper that they expect him to announce Tobin as his successor Monday.
Whispers in the Loggia, a well-known Catholicism blog, also reported the likely successor.
Greg Otolski, the director of communications for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, did not return phone calls to the IndyStar on Saturday about Tobin’s future.
Newark Archbishop John J. Myers reached the mandatory retirement age of 75 in July. He has a news conference scheduled for 10:20 a.m. Monday at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark. However, the content of that press conference has not been released.
