Orthodoxy of Bishop-Elect Michael Duca Confirmed

I'd been told by those who know him fairly personally (Laura over at "...and if not...", a friend of mine from Dallas) that he was orthodox, but the more information I get, the more amazed I am at the reviews this bishop has received. I met him yesterday after his first Mass in the Diocese of Shreveport and he seemed like nothing less than a holy, humble, and very happy priest. His homily was a personal introduction, but he wove the readings into it quite nicely. Word on the street is that he is everything we need: orthodox, passionate, pro-life, liturgically conservative, vocation-inspiring, holy, joyous, humble, down-to-earth, extroverted, energetic, and overall a great guy. The comments at American Papist are all rave reviews, including, apparently, that he is an excellent chef. May His Excellency to be be warmly received by the Diocese of Shreveport.

If you're reading this, Msgr. Duca, know you have my support and the support of many orthodox Catholics in the Shreveport Diocese who are ready to stand with you. We look forward to your leadership.

His Servant and Yours,

Micah Murphy
