Bishop Barron for Madison? Not even a rumor, just total speculation. But I think it makes sense on a number of levels: 1) He's from Chicago, so Wisconsin would be a return to his roots. 2) He's been an auxiliary for a few years now, so he's learned the basics of bishoping. 3) A small but visible diocese like Madison would be a good stepping-stone to a more prominent diocese. 4) He's a "New Evangelizer," and so a good fit for a post-Christian city like Madison -- home of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. 5) He's an academic, and so a good fit for a college town.
No thank you. I prefer Aux Bp Joseph Perry of Chicago because he celebrates the TLM/EF Mass just like Bp. Morlino did. We need someone who appreciates the EF Liturgy.
