162 - Despite the heat, the pass-off from Kelly to Kurtz is good.

Yesterday, for the first time in eight years, Louisville's temperature climbed to 103 degrees. Also yesterday, for the first time in twenty-five years, Louisville switched Archbishops. The shepherd's staff, overseeing the Archdiocese of Louisville, was passed from Thomas Kelly to Joseph Kurtz, during the installation ceremony of the latter as the Fourth Archbishop and Ninth Bishop of the Archdiocese of Louisville. A representative of Pope Bendict XVI was present in the ceremonies, held at the Louisville Gardens, the old Armory, on Muhammad Ali Boulevard. Approximately 4500 people were inside the Gardens to celebrate the event, while the temperature outside soared to 103 degrees, setting a new record for August 15th.
