Papal influence
“This is just about the best thing that can happen to the diocese,” Bosman said. Short was high on the list of Bosman. It is the first bishop appointed by Pope Francis in the Netherlands. “The hand of Francis is also noticeable. We searched for a unifying man, a friendly shepherd.” The appointment is in accordance with the Bosman beginning of a newly formed church province Den Bosch is going to be.
Where recent decades bisschopppen strictly followed the line of Rome, by some perceived as stiff, the cards are reshuffled. That’s Short now Cardinal Eijk back has been appointed Bishop of the largest diocese, according to some comments a slap in the face of the more conservative Eijk. “A slap is perhaps a big word, but this is a sign that Rome does not support the line of Eijk. In Eijk tonight champagne not open,” says Bosman.

The diocese itself continues to remain silent about the appointment of De Korte. According to Bosman, who almost certainly “Indeed, there is a small chance that someone else is appointed, but there is also a small chance that tomorrow the Lord Jesus returns to earth.” Omroep Brabant broadcasts the news conference from the Bishop’s Palace Saturday live from eleven o’clock in the morning on the website and apps.
