\n

Pope Leo XIV<\/a> is expected to appoint Bishop Ronald Hicks of Joliet as the next archbishop of New York and who will replace Cardinal Timothy Dolan as early as “this week,” according to a source with direct knowledge of the archdiocese.<\/p>\n

The news came after Dolan sent a mandatory retirement request to Pope Leo in February as he reached his 75th birthday.<\/p>\n

“There are rumblings that this week Pope Leo will accept Cardinal Dolan\u2019s resignation and appoint Bishop Ron Hicks<\/a> to replace him,” the source told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

The source also highlighted that “it would be very strange to replace a beloved cardinal before Christmas.”<\/p>\n

This latest development signals an imminent shift in leadership<\/a> for one of the most prominent Catholic archdioceses in the world, and also just before Christmas.<\/p>\n

Dolan has served as archbishop of New York since 2009, when Pope Benedict XVI appointed him after his tenure in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Hicks, 58, could have emerged as a leading contender because of his Midwestern roots<\/a> and reputation.<\/p>\n

Born in Harvey, Illinois, and raised in South Holland, Hicks was appointed bishop of Joliet by Pope Francis<\/a> in 2020.<\/p>\n

His ties to Illinois and to the Chicago region, where Pope Leo also grew up, could be seen as strengthening his standing.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the pontiff<\/a> shortly after his election in 2024, Hicks told WGN-TV that the pope felt “relatable,” noting, “He\u2019s a normal guy from a normal neighborhood we grew up in.”<\/p>\n

On Monday, Rob Astorino, a Westchester County executive with ties to Dolan and the New York archdiocese, shared a post on X on the matter.<\/p>\n

“Strong rumors that @Pontifex has accepted the resignation of @CardinalDolan and will appoint Bishop Ron Hicks of Joliet, Illinois,” the post read.<\/p>\n

If confirmed, Hicks would also take over leadership at a moment of difficulty for the Archdiocese of New York.<\/p>\n

The church is confronting more than 1,300 clergy sexual-abuse claims<\/a>, prompting an urgent need to raise approximately $300 million in settlement funds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Dec. 9, the archdiocese announced it would compensate victims, according to Fox 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To meet these obligations, the archdiocese has enacted layoffs, cut its operating budget by 10%, and begun selling major real estate assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It also announced the $490 million sale of the land beneath the Lotte New York Palace Hotel, while another $100 million is expected from selling its former headquarters at 1011 First Avenue.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Archdiocese of New York\u00a0and the Diocese of Joliet for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
