A source familiar with their deliberations said they would be communicating their decision first to Archbishop Justin Welby before any statement would be given to the media.

    Fingers crossed…

    ++Foley was scheduled to meet this coming Saturday with Kentucky lay persons, but cancelled due to this Cairo meeting. Of course, we were disappointed, but understand we will again have this opportunity…

    And, this Cairo meeting and its objectives are by far the most important thing on the agenda right now.
