New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Both hooks are interesting; hook refs verified and cited inline. However, there is too much blue-linking in the ALT0 hook; I suggest writing it this way:
QPQ done. Good to go.

Actually, ALT1 is over 200 char, so striking that.

Recent removal
I agree with the removal of the heading "Episcopal succession" as unnecessary when they are already navboxes. I disagree with the removal of the link to Archdiocese of Baltimore; this seems quite germane to his new appointment, and probably has plenty of information about it if you look.

@
Elizium23: if it was a link to a specific section in the Archdiocese's website pertaining to Lewandowski's upcoming episcopal ordination, that would be relevant. But a generic link to the main page of the Archdiocese's website (i.e. the one that I removed) is not. Such a link would only be relevant to the article on the Archdiocese (and it is, rightly, already included there). —

Bloom6132, this contradicts
WP:ELOFFICIAL which is exactly why the general link is perfectly relevant to his upcoming office.

@
Elizium23: Don't see any contradiction here at all. The link added by Roberto221, in fact, fails both criteria in
WP:ELOFFICIAL. It is not controlled by the subject (i.e. Lewandowski himself, not the archdiocese because this isn't an article about the organization). And the linked content does not primarily cover the area for which the subject of the article is notable. Example – for
William E. Lori's article,
this page would be a relevant external link. An appropriate external link for Lewandowski would be one that is a link to Lewandowski's personal website, to the Archdiocese's page on him specifically, or to a column in the archdiocesan newspaper written by him. To my knowledge, none of those pages exist. —
