He is against witholding Communion to pro-deathers.

Some bishops have stated that they will deny Eucharist to Catholic politicians who have supported abortion legislation. Eucharist is God’s gift to us, God’s presence among us. It is a most precious part of our Catholic heritage. I strongly oppose using Eucharist as a weapon.

He has been in the headlines a lot lately.

Bankruptcy plan divides diocese. Skylstad in line to head national bishops' conference as some call for his ouster

So now the guy who bankrupted his own diocese will be leading the entire USCCB. Very appropriate.
