"I don't golf. As a matter of fact it leads many people to wonder if I'm really validly ordained."-- Detroit's Archbishop-elect Allen Vigneron, in an interview upon being introduced as the successor toCardinal Adam Maida, who iswidely remembered for making a hole-in-one at a 2001 charity tournament.[Via Rocco, who has blanket coverage of the first of what are likely to be several major episcopal chess moves this year.]PS: Yes, I know it should be "Quotation of the Day." But, like, whatever. I've graded too many papers.
