Bishop Allen H. Vigneron, 60, right, and Cardinal Adam Maida speak during a news conference in Detroit, Monday, Jan. 5, 2009. Pope Benedict XVI named Vigneron, who has been serving in California, as the new archbishop of Detroit. Maida, had led the Detroit area's 1.4 million Roman Catholics for nearly two decades.
