KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Pope Benedict XVI has named an auxiliary bishop from Pittsburgh to be the new bishop of the 100,000-member Diocese of Kalamazoo.

The diocese said Monday that 63-year-old Paul J. Bradley replaces Bishop James A. Murray, who submitted his mandatory resignation after turning 75.

Bradley was born in Glassport, Pa., and attended high school, college and graduate theology studies at St. Meinrad Seminary in St. Meinrad, Ind. He holds a master's in social work degree from the University of Pittsburgh.

The Diocese of Kalamazoo serves about 100,000 Roman Catholics in Michigan's Allegan, Barry, Van Buren, Kalamazoo, Calhoun, Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph and Branch counties.
