[Magdalen] It's official

[Grace Cangialosi]

Actually, when I made the comment about the term, I was referring to the
strange order of the titles, which we seem to enjoy.  Why not "Provisional
Bishop" or "Suffragan Bishop," instead of this reverse order affectation (
which is what it feels like to me)?
Anyway, I had no idea the term was going to be so long; I thought it was
just going to be until we could go through an election for a new diocesan.
