The February 2003 edition of Catholic World Report also includes a call to write to Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re with your candidates for bishop. My list:

Fr. Phillip Eichner - President of Kellenberg High School, Chairman of the Board of Advisers of the Catholic League, helped create a thriving province of Marianists on Long Island. Humble, devout and incredibly brilliant.
Fr. Benedict Groeschel - who would probably hate me recommending him, but we need a very good orthodox priest as bishop. Don’t know if he would be good at or enjoy administration but his appointment would send the right message.
Fr. Joseph Fessio – YES!!!! It would keep the Jesuits from being able to persecute him they way they did with Fr. Hardon (who may be canonized someday). Who has done more in the USA for the Church than Fessio??

**I would also like to see a traditionalist priest, perhaps from the FSSP, named a bishop.
