Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez was elected to head the Dominican Council of Bishops this past week during the 46th General Assembly of the Council of Bishops. Lopez Rodriguez will follow Santiago's archbishop Ramon de la Rosa y Carpio as head of the council. Joining the cardinal on the council will be Higuey's Archbishop, Nicanor Pena, Santiago's Archbishop, Ramon Benito de la Rosa y Carpio, and bishop Jose Dolores Grullon of San Juan de la Maguana. The assembly also elected a new secretary general, replacing Benito Angeles with Francisco Antonio Jimenez. The new Episcopal authorities will serve for three years. In another decision, it was announced that Caritas, the charitable organization of the council, will be headed by Bishop Grullon. The 2007-2009 program from Caritas calls for 1,733 housing units, 130 refurbished houses and an investment of RD$198 million in all of its projects.
