Details, from Rocco: <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the most concrete sign yet of his plans to thoroughly reshape the beleaguered church he\u2019s inherited, Philadelphia\u2019s Archbishop Charles Chaput OFM Cap. is giving up the mansion at the city\u2019s edge which his predecessors have called home for the last 75 years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Less than four months after taking the reins<\/a> of the 1.2 million-member Northeastern \u201csupertanker,\u201d<\/a> Chaput reportedly decided to seek a buyer for the historic Cardinal\u2019s Residence over recent weeks, according to archdiocesan sources. No official announcement of the move is expected to be made.<\/p>\n

Seen by many locals as the quintessential symbol of the \u201ccomplacency and pride\u201d<\/a> that have long marked the city\u2019s ecclesial culture, the property\u2019s placement on the market is said to have received \u201cstrong support\u201d both from Chaput\u2019s Finance Council and Council of Priests, who were consulted on the move over the last six weeks. As the value of a successful deal is almost certain to exceed the canonical threshold for a bishop\u2019s alienation of diocesan property on his own initiative (currently $7.5 million for larger US dioceses), a transfer of ownership would require the approval of the Holy See.<\/p>\n

Home to the city\u2019s top prelate since 1935, when Cardinal Dennis Dougherty purchased it for $215,000, it is unclear where the current occupants of 5700 City Avenue \u2014 the Capuchin prelate, a duo of priest-aides and the two Sisters of Mercy of Alma<\/a> who staff the household \u2014 would relocate on the completion of a sale.<\/p>\n

During his 14 years as archbishop of Denver, Chaput lived alone in a cozy, Mission-style rancher on the campus<\/a> that housed his seminary and the diocesan offices. Before Dougherty\u2019s move to the antebellum house on Philadelphia\u2019s border with suburban Montgomery County, a half-century of the city\u2019s archbishops were based at what\u2019s now the Rectory of the Cathedral-Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul on Race Street, in the heart of the urban hub. The archdiocese\u2019s four active auxiliaries live in former rectories or convents that had been vacant in their respective geographic regions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
