Abp. Levada as Prefect of CDF? "It's a done deal"...

Archbishop William J. Levada of San Francisco is likely to be chosen to be the new Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith...

"It's a done deal," a senior Vatican official told TIME on Tuesday, after days of rumors that the American was emerging as the frontrunner. "This was a decision directly from the Pope. Levada was already asked, and has accepted. If it ends up not happening, it means somebody got to [the Pope] and convinced him to change his mind."
More.

Personally, I don't see this happening. Fr. Fessio remarked recently, if I recall correctly, that the position of prefect will not be filled - at least for a time...This seems to me more 'rumor-mongering' - for what purpose? I don't really know.
