I thought our beloved Bp. Carlson was Detroit-bound according to the rumor mill... then again, according to the rumor mill, we (Sioux Falls) would've had an announcement back in early June and an installation/ordination by now!

Carlson? Detroit? Way, way too soon for that. I know, it's happened before. There's just too much work to do in Saginaw. He's just getting started.

To be completely selfish...what about Dallas? Please, please, please! Anyone heard anything?

I agree, Chris, but that's definitely been out there in the rumor mill; and as you noted it has happened before.

(I say just surpress the diocese, anyway.)

May I just ask a question? How reliable is Rocco Palmo?

Janice: fair-to-good.

C.M.W. - for Dallas, hold out your hope for Bishop Thomas Paprocki, an auxiliary in Chicago and one of very bright lights among young bishops. Just don't expect that you'll keep him for ever!

We have had Grahmann for 14 years, we should get to have a great bishop at least that long in reparation!

Tim. Interesting idea. You know Bp. P is going to go somewhere. JD, JCD, who could ask for anything more?

It's a shame we couldn't get Abp. Myers in DC.

Well, have there been any rumors as to who would replace Abp. Myers in Newark?? If he has to go, I wouldn't mind if the auxiliary from Newark who went to Paterson (Bp. Seratelli) came back to run the show.
