Monsignor Philip Egan VG BA, STL, PhD, the Vicar General of Shrewsbury Diocese has just been announced as the new Bishop of Portsmouth.
I don't know too much about him but he has a PhD, has defended Humanae Vitae. He was the Dean of Studies at Oscott, he is has written about the thought of Newman and Lonergan and recently published Philosophy and Catholic Theology: A Primer (Collegeville, 2009).
He seems a little different from the bishops who were appointed in the past, as far as I can see there is no Eccleston Square connection, and it is good to have one with doctorate and who has actually written a serious book.
