From the New York Post [tabloid]:
Pope Leo XIV is expected to accept Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s resignation this week — and will possibly name a bishop from the pontiff’s home state of Illinois to lead the Archdiocese of New York, well-placed sources said. Dolan, who has served as archbishop since 2009, submitted his resignation in February after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 75.
Insiders said the Holy Father is set to accept the resignation, and that he is considering naming Bishop Ron Hicks of Joliet, Ill., near the pope’s Windy City hometown, to replace Dolan. Hicks grew up in South Holland, Ill., and was named the sixth bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Joliet by Pope Francis in July 2020 before being installed at the Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus two months later, according to his Joliet diocese bio page.
