I hate to start this introduction to the region’s eleventh Roman Catholic bishop on an especially controversial topic, yet, deep breath, here goes: Mark O’Connell is a fan of the New England Patriots.
Judging by the Buffalo Bills gear I see on Sunday mornings, that revelation may not be cheered by the masses at Masses. But how, O’Connell noted Friday, could a man living within the vicinity of Tom Brady’s greatness be otherwise?
Fair point…
