The Times Record, Saturday, July 10. 1976 7 Diocesan search for area bishop in high gear By USA ROBERT ALBANY The actual search can now begin In earnest for a new bishop to replace Bishop Edwin B. Broderlck. Catholics in the Albany Calholic Diocese were to have'completed by Friday questionnaires with their recommendations on a new The Albany Diocesan Committee for the Selection of Candidates for the Office of Bishop, formed In lale May. is receiving replies to a questionnaire concerning the status of the diocese and the relationship of a bishop lo his people printed in The Evangelisl, the diocese's newspaper.

T' 1 under the chairmanship of Rev. Lionel Ortltamie, pastor of Corpus Christi parish in-Ushers, will review the responses and send final recommendations to the bishop, the apostolic delegate and the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, D.C. at Ihe end of July. The committee is r.ot a new idea in the church, Father Guillaume said. "The idea has been around for many years," he said.

"It's just a new direction that the church has taken since the Second Vatican Council." The need for suclra committee became apparent when Bishop Broderick was named executive director of the Calholic Relief Services in New York Cily. In a letter to Catholics, printed in The Evangelist, Bishop Broderick urged the cooperation of the entire diocese in the work of.Ihe committee. He said, commillee's task of' searching out the present condition and future needs oi the diocese must have the assistance of all of us. 1, therefore, urge your cooperation with this committee so that its work may accurately reflect your needs for'the present and your hopes for Ihe future," The committee is not expected to recommend particular in- for the office of bishop but rather to outline Ihe qualities that are desirable in such a person. Father Guillaume said that the committee cannot suggest a candidate because of Ihe church laws requiring papal secrecy in the selection of a bishop.

"Primarily the reason for this is because Ihe church does not want party politics going on for Ihe episcopacy." The questionnaire asks Catholics to describe Ihe personal and leadership qualities of a bishop and his relationship with Ihe clergy, religious and laity. The questionnaire also asks if Improvements in Ihe diocesan structure in their area are needed and what specific requirements Catholics see necessary in their new bishop. Catholics.may also write to the apostolic delegate, the Vatican's ambassador lo the American Church with their suggestions. He Is Archbishop Jean Jadol, 3339 Massachusetts N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008.

"The committee is permanent and has the responsibility of keeping the profile up to dale," he said. "That way, Ihe profile would always be available in the future for the next bishop or in the case of an auxuliary bishop." Members of the committee were selected by a steering committee of the priests senate, Father Guillaume said. "It was the responsibility of the steering committee lo pick individuals who would be representative of the church of today and who would represent'all aspects of the church including Ihe laity, religious ar.d priests."
