MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee Catholics should know at 5 a.m. Saturday morning if they will have a new archbishop.

According to Rocco Palmo, a prominent Catholic blogger who writes the Whispers in the Loggia blog, and who has been right many times about happenings within the Catholic Church, the Vatican will announce the new archbishop at noon Saturday, 5 a.m. Central time.

"From everything I've heard, multiple sources say it will happen Saturday morning," Palmo said.

Although Palmo won't say who the new archbishop will be, he mentioned four candidates several weeks ago.

Bishop Gerald Kicanis of Tucson, Bishop Blase Cupich of Rapid City, South Dakota, La Crosse Bishop Jerome Listecki, and Bishop William Callahan, who is currently running the Milwaukee Archdiocese on an interim basis.

Some Catholics who spoke with TODAY'S TMJ4 heard Bishop Kicanis will get the job, and according to a spokesman for the Tucson Archdiocese, Bishop Kicanis will not be in Arizona Saturday morning.

If a new archbishop is appointed Saturday morning, it will be posted on the Milwaukee Archdiocese Web site at 5 a.m.
