A traditional Archbishop for New York City
From a traditional TLM Catholic in Joliet:

I thanked him for his pastoral care & benevolence towards the Traditional Latin Mass Communities in the diocese. He comes across a genuinely humble and sincere prelate. I thank Our Lord that he has blessed the Diocese of Joliet with such a good shepherd!
Please pray for Bishop Hicks! 🙏
"Bishop Ronald Hicks and the Latin Mass
Bishop Ronald Hicks has been noted for his commitment to the Latin Mass and liturgical life within his diocese. His approach to the Mass has been characterized by a focus on sacramental life and the promotion of adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Hicks has been involved in the National Eucharistic Revival, which is a significant initiative by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. His leadership in Joliet has allowed the diocese to continue its ordinary life linked to the Traditional Latin Mass without drastic measures, contrasting with the approach of some other dioceses governed by prelates of a previous generation. This approach has been highlighted by the faithful in Joliet, emphasizing the centrality of the Eucharist and liturgical reverence in his episcopate"

Fake Catholic bishops and priests are devastated!
As with Leo, I am taking a very cautious approach to this announcement. Actions speak louder than words.
From what I can see, this seems like a good appointment. Ad multos annos, Excellency!

Well this is an example of a horrible, corrupt shepherd, Cupich of Chicago, crushing the legitimate aspirations of traditional Catholics. Even MT Suit should be touched by the statements of the lay people Cupich harmed by his lack of accompaniment and mercy. They sound like simple, ordinary Catholics to me.

Now if we could have ++Cordileone in Chicago and ++Sample in Washington, D.C.!
The problem is that people conflate tolerance to the TLM with being a "traditional bishop ", but that's really not the case. There have been multiple bishops who have run away with the LGBT train but are still generous with the TLM.
Even so, I think I'd almost take a Zuppi over the grumpy man who scolded people for not smiling enough.
