Fr. Fessio to San Francisco?

Good discussion of the possibility here. I think the notion that he may become archbishop of the diocese from which the Jesuits banished him still falls under the status of interesting rumor. And speaking of rumors, some have been circulated that Fr. Fessio isn't all he's cracked up to be. Allegations include poor financial management, poor administrative skills, and being mean to people who disagree with him. I doubt the rumors. That sounds like half-panicked sour grapes from those opposing orthodox reform.

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS (Monday, 5/16/05, 1:42 PM):

Notice that the rumor of Fr. Fessio to Frisco gets much more interest than the rumor of Archbishop Levada to CDF.

I wonder if Fr. Fessio as Archbishop would formally excommunicate Nancy Pelosi and the other Bay Area politicians who call themselves Catholic while promoting homosexual marriage and unlimited abortion on demand? I also wonder if such a move would finally enervate the other bishops in the U.S. to follow suit in their own diocesan territories?

P.S. Anybody know the plural of diocese? dioceses? dioci?
