In a significant move for the pro-life movement, Pope Leo XIV is reportedly set to appoint Bishop Ronald Hicks of Joliet, Illinois, as the new archbishop of New York, succeeding the beloved Cardinal Timothy Dolan.

For years, Cardinal Dolan has been a steadfast voice for the unborn and a passionate advocate against abortion. His replacement, Bishop Hicks, appears poised to continue that crucial legacy.

Sources indicate that the announcement could come as early as this week, following Cardinal Dolan's mandatory retirement submission earlier this year.


Bishop Hicks, 58, has made it clear that he will stand firmly against abortion. Recently, he supported a legal brief defending healthcare professionals in Illinois from being compelled to refer patients to abortion providers. This unwavering stance echoes the Church’s long-standing belief that human dignity extends to all individuals, from the unborn to the elderly.

Hicks eloquently stated, “Illinois should not force Catholics to violate that belief. We trust the court to uphold our freedom to live and serve according to our faith.”

His commitment to pro-life values resonates strongly with many Catholics who are eager for leadership that reflects their beliefs.

Born and raised in the Chicago area, Bishop Hicks’s humble beginnings mirror those of Pope Leo, which may further strengthen the connection between the Vatican and middle America.

Conservatives across the nation are hopeful that this appointment will help rejuvenate the largest archdiocese in the United States, especially in light of the ongoing challenges facing the Catholic Church.

As the nation navigates a deeply divided cultural landscape, the archdiocese of New York is sure to be a focal point in the pro-life battle. Bishop Hicks’s expected leadership offers renewed hope for those who steadfastly advocate for the rights of the unborn and the ethical treatment of all human life.

This appointment is not just a change in leadership; it's a powerful affirmation of the pro-life agenda at a time when it is needed most.
