Rumor has it that the pope is going to create a flurry of new cardinals very soon, probably before the end of the year. Archbishop O'Malley of Boston is the only American shoo-in I've heard of so far, but do you think he might elevate Archbishop Rigali at the same time?
Actually, Archbishop Rigali is more of a shoo-in than Bishop O'Malley is. The powers that be may have Bishop Sean sit out a round so that the mess in Boston is well and truly cleaned up and doesn't cast a shadow over the honor when it does come.
Just so they don't steal my Archbishop to replace Abp. Rigali in St. Louis; let them take, say, Bishop Gregory of Belleview instead.
