The Vatican announced Monday (February 23) that Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy Dolan will become the next Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York. Dolan, 59, will succeed Cardinal Edward Egan, who is retiring after nearly nine years in the position. John Allen, longtime Vatican correspondent for National Catholic Reporter, talks about what Dolan brings to the position and the challenges he will face, including potential tensions with the Obama Administration.
