MILWAUKEE – With the impending resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, speculation has already moved toward former Milwaukee Archbishop and current New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan as a potential candidate to take over.
However, Marquette University professor Fr. Steven Avella says that there is a long list of candidates that the College of Cardinals will consider when they hold their conclave and decide the next Pope.
“Dolan’s name will likely come up,” said Fr. Avella, who joined both Newsradio 620 WTMJ’s “Wisconsin’s Morning News” and TODAY’S TMJ4’s “Live at Daybreak.”
“Anything can happen. I’ll be the last person to go on the air and say it’s impossible for him to be elected, but at this point, the speculation is going to range wide.”
