A native of Missouri, Dolan, 56, was installed as Milwaukee's archbishop on Aug. 28, 2002. At the time, he was seen by some observers as on the fast track to gain a cardinal's red cap and unlikely to stay here more than a few years.Well connected to the Vatican, Dolan previously served in Washington, D.C., as secretary to two papal nuncios, the pope's representatives in the United States, and as rector of the Pontifical North American College, an elite seminary in Rome.
Milwaukee archdiocesan spokeswoman Kathleen Hohl said, "To speculate on a possible successor to Cardinal Egan when he continues to serve the people of the Archdiocese of New York is not appropriate."
