Rumor: Dominican to become next bishop of Fort Wayne?

I'm hearing a rumor going around Fort Wayne, IN that Bishop D'Arcy's replacement could be ... wait for it ... Fr. Augustine Di Noia, OP!

That's right, a dominican who is currently serving as undersecretary at the congregation for the doctrine of the faith (basically the #3 in charge of it).

The last time a dominican was elevated to the Amearican episcopate (that I know of) was in the 1980's in Louisville.

It's a fascinating choice for one primary reason - by choosing a priest who has not served as a bishop in the United States, the Vatican avoids the sticky problem of either choosing a bishop who spoke out against Notre Dame's invitation of Barack Obama, or choosing one who was silent.
