John Brendan McCormack grew his religious roots in our neighbor to the south. He was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, ordained in Boston and served in several Bay State churches before becoming a top aide to then Boston Cardinal Bernard Law. He was later appointed as Manchester, New Hampshire’s ninth Catholic Bishop by Pope John Paul II. His time with the church has not been without challenge…facing the sex abuse scandal, priest shortages, parish closings and efforts to re-energize the faithful. We’ll talk with Bishop McCormack about how the Catholic church has changed and evolved over the past quarter century and where he sees it going over the next twenty-five years.
