ALLENTOWN (AP) — Pope Francis decided to stay close when selecting a new leader of the Allentown Roman Catholic Diocese. The pope on Tuesday appointed Monsignor Alfred Schlert as the fifth bishop of Allentown. Schlert is the first priest from the diocese to be appointed to lead it. The 55-year-old has been serving as the diocesan administrator since the pope named his predecessor the bishop of Rockville Centre, New York.
