Arthur Roche, the Bishop of Leeds, may well be out of the running to be the next Archbishop of Westminster, but I've been told that he is in line for a move to Rome.A senior Catholic source says he has heard that the bishop has been recommended for a post in the congregation for worship.
He also correctly predicted that Cardinal Antonio Canizares Llovera was being made prefect ahead of his appointment so he clearly has good contacts.
At the moment, there are no vacancies in the congregation, but he understands that Bishop Roche will replace Archbishop Malcolm Ranjith who is currently secretary.
If this turns out to be true, the promotion will be welcome news for the bishop, but no doubt even more welcome news for many of the parishes in his diocese who have been left devastated by the closure of their churches.
