Not particularly. I can understand how it would look better on paper, though. There isn't a single major city, or even a large town, in the whole diocese.
Does the merger elevate Columbus to an archdiocese? If so Christophe Cardinal Pierre can put the archbishopтАЩs pallium on тАЬhis guyтАЭ and former direct report in the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, DC - none other than the fast-rising BISHOP Earl Fernandes.
Wreaks of nepotism but IтАЩll let The PillarтАЩs investigative journalists try to penetrate PierreтАЩs Iron Curtain.
