From the Vatican Information Service, this news:
The Holy Father appointed ... Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Muller of Regensburg, Germany, as a member of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Bishop Muller is author of Priesthood And Diaconate: The Recipient of the Sacrament of Holy Orders from the Perspective of Creation Theology and Christology (Ignatius, 2002).
Not a matter of post hoc, ergo propter hoc, of course.
One day an IP author is named an archbishop, the next day another one is named to the curia, the day after that another one is elected pope.
Really, it cannot be post hoc, ergo propter hoc. It just can't. It's all coincidence.
