I guess we will see in the near future. I think B-16 is getting his men in place. I also think that Cardinal George will be in Rome shortly.

Cardinal Rigali does have a large amount of influence over who is slected Bishop, since he was head of the conregation of Bishops when he was in the Vatican, but so far most of the men that seem to have been influenced by Cardinal Rigalis advice have been sound, such as his repalcement, Abp. Burke.

That said, B-16 may have a more hands on approach on who is appointed to the bigger sees. Belville is a small diocese, and its only improtance was that then Bp. Gregory was the president of the USCCB. It will be intresting to see if the holy father accepts the resignations of Cdl. McCarrick and Cdl. Madia this year.
