Appointment to new diocese[edit]

Bishop Aquila is not the Archbishop of Denver until he takes canonical possession. This canonical possession usually takes place in a liturgical act in the cathedral of the diocese, before the people. That will be his installation ceremony on July 18, as described in the article. Any changes to the succession box or his dioceses now constitutes a violation of WP:CRYSTAL which states that speculative and future information should not be added to Wikipedia articles.

Agree, I was coming here to say the same thing. See the extended discussion on Charles Chaput wherein Archbishop Chaput referred me to a Cannon Lawyer in Denvre to explicitly address this issue as it related to Chaput. The principle differnece here is that since Aquila is moving from Bishop to ArchBishop, I believe the proper title is now "Bishop of Fargo and Archbishop Elect Designate of Denver"---Balloonman Poppa Balloon 20:22, 29 May 2012 (UTC) NOTE: Since he is already a bishop, he is not awaiting higher orders, he is simply waiting for the official transfer of position from Fargo to Denver. Thus it is not Elect, but rather Designate.---Balloonman Poppa Balloon 17:36, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
