Archbishop John Donoghue of Atlanta celebrated his 76th birthday in August, so he's now 16 months beyond the regular retirement age for bishops. It's not surprising, then, that rumors are beginning to float around about his potential successors.
I won't tell you which name is being mentioned most frequently. But you might say-- if you enjoy gallows humor-- that his appointment would be "nothing short of miraculous."
