Pope replaces New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan with little-known bishop

Pope Leo XIV has accepted the resignation of influential New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, a leading figure of the U.S. church's conservative wing, the Vatican said Thursday.

The Catholic Church's first U.S. pope replaced Dolan, who stepped down in accordance with canon law upon reaching the age of 75, with a little-known 58-year-old bishop from Illinois, Ronald Hicks.
