Just flagging - with love! - that you’ve listed Amoris Laetitia as a motu proprio here.

I was told by men who apparently receive letters from Leo that Leo is building to a clash of civilizations with Trump. Therefore this talk of looking to keep things cool cannot be true.

Really sounds like a great pick!! I honestly wonder what the fate of the Diocese of Steubenville will be with a new Nuncio, since Pierre's position on that was fairly clear.

My guess, coming from nothing but vibes, is that it will be Archbishop Nicolas Thévenin, currently Apostolic Delegate to the Arab League.

AND, let's not forget: Caccia is a Canon Lawyer!!!! So you guys should get along great with him!!!

More importantly, is Pope Leo seems to want canon lawyers at top posts. Looking at two main Vatican apts (dicastry for bishops, and secretary for dicastry of clergy. And it looks like a couple nuncios were also canon lawyers.

Will it perhaps be a a man recruited from his position as a vacuum cleaner salesman?

I think Caccia would be the best possible candidate. Another choice may be a home town boy, Peter Wells.
