From what I understand no. I think he will let the BORs take a strong hand in the search and will go with the best person for the job clergy or not. He has way more than a full plate of stuff going on in the Archdiocese and is currently "drinking from a firehose" (his words) to fully understand all that he has to lead now. He is close to Bishop Hebda too who lived on campus who is also a terrific guy so my guess would be he may get some counsel from him too.The key question in finding Gabe's replacement that has to be answered first is whether our new Archbishop
wants a member of the clergy in that position or whether he would agree to another lay person in that position.
