Cities such as Pittsburgh, Kansas City (Missouri - confusingly the province for Kansas is based in their Kansas City), Buffalo, Orlando, and most relevantly Cleveland are dioceses and seem unlikely to be ever be otherwise. If neither Cleveland nor Columbus was ever promoted when Ohio was a Catholic hotbed, seems unlikely in this era of decline. And Ohio has six dioceses total, which means that if Steubenville is eliminated and Columbus were to be elevated, then either the Cincinnati or the Columbus province would comprise two dioceses only, which would be unusually small. That said, we know Francis is unpredictable.
