That is what the Nuncio Cardinal Pierre said, but given how long some of these archdioceses in the US have had an archbishop waiting for a replacement and suddenly within 3 months Milwaukee, Washington DC, Detroit, Cincinnati, and Omaha are filled with Cupich proteges and friends makes me believe someone was in an awful hurry to get certain bishops through right around the time Pope Francis' health started deteriorating. I know Archbishop Vigneron in Detroit (I know people in that Archdiocese who would know) is in good health, so there was no reason to push Weisenburger through in a hurry except the fact that Pope Francis was almost at death's door and Cardinal Cupich nor his friend the Nuncio Cardinal Pierre may have as much influence with the next Pope as they have with this one. By the way: I wish Pope Francis many more years and for him to never make the horrible blunder of resigning.
