\nPontifical Oriental Institute<\/a> by Pope Benedict XVI. Father McCann will assume
\nhis duties in Rome in September of 2010. His academic and ecclesial
\nadministration coupled with his expertise in Eastern churches and society (the
\nfocus of the Pontifical Oriental Institute) makes this appointment easy to
\nunderstand why he’s a good choice. He’ll be fresh air to the Oriental Institute
\nlike his immediate predecessor did prior to be named an archbishop-secretary
\nfor the Vatican office for Eastern churches last year.
