It appears, based on very reliable sources, that indeed Archbishop William Levada of San Francisco is going to be appointed the new Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
This is not good news. Archbishop Levada is the prelate who compromised with the city of San Francisco over the citys demands that Catholic Charities and other Church organizations provide domestic partner benefits to employees. His archdiocese is also a mess with dissenting priests, homosexual activists running all over the place, the University of San Francisco trampling the faith, and more.
Im really very surprised by this. I would have thought that Pope Benedict would have seen this for what it was, especially considering his close association with Father Fessio, who had been in San Francisco for many years.
Maybe he sees something we dont. I hope.

But Time magazine also quoted an unidentified senior Vatican official as saying that if Levada isn't appointed, "it means somebody got to (the Pope) and convinced him to change his mind."Riiiiight. So, first Ratzinger's this hardliner, unbending tyrant, and now, he's easily persuaded?
Yeah. That does seem convenient, doesn't it?
