Archbishop Ranjith to move to Colombo?

Rorate Caeli reports that Archbishop Malcolm Ranjith, the Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, would soon be named Archbishop of Colombo. It is seen as an "exile" for being too outspoken a defender of the traditional Latin Mass, and the Holy Father's reform of the liturgy.

Curial politics.

Well, what's obviously a loss to Rome (and to the Universal Church in some sense) will undoubtedly be a gain for my motherland. And, if the speculation turns out to be true, we'll have our second ever cardinal.
That would be wonderful!

Did they move Archbishop Ranjith on purpose?

According to that report yes...
Probably pressure from those who aren't too keen on the Pope's reforms
