If I were the guy I would turn it down, refusing to work for Francis due to too many reasons to list, and it would need make a huge difference in retirement (such as poverty vs an adequate humble retirement) to even THINK of accepting.
Personally, I have a happy humble retirement rather than far better, due to refusing to be a yes-man to crooked drone jerks and have never regretted for a minute in standing by what is right. ANY quoted health reason for declining would be adequate, including general health..."Sorry, your holiness, but I am not up to the honor (of working for a jerk like you, as I value my sanity and honor)."
As for Francis repentance, he has his own reasons/angle for such "rehabilitation" (as if the recipient of the largess a convict), and it another reason I'd turn it down, as no wrong was done requiring rehabilitation, and I'd rather be hanged than aid someone who went after me amd my former boss and everything that former boss stood for. Not as if the new job would get me any effectivity, as still would be shunned, maybe even politely, THIS time. I see it as another attempt at associating himself with Benedict as well as showing what a grand and swell guy he really is....no soap.
My first instinct says that probably the best way to get to the bottom of what's really going on would be to review any persons who were "rehabilitated" by Juan Peron during his tenure in Argentina and what followed.
Now, if the Archbishop were offered a fitting and real Archbishopric, where he could do some real good, that might be another matter, and then it would leave Francis needing to again take action against him if he proved to not be a team player, bad "optics" for the F-troop...
Which is why I think a diplomatic posting might be what might be offered (if anything), keeping the Archbishop muchly isolated and easily observed and controlled/muzzled in a diplomatic post...exiled.
And, again, why if it were me, I'd turn it down...9yrs or so until official retirement age, and could truly enjoy doing what I thought best for flocks while effectively already retired due to inability to do what Francis had lined up, which is essentially that of wasting what life remained...
I agree with many of the postings here; politely turn this down if that is possible. This is not rehabilitation. Francis is not the forgiving type. No mercy in him at all. This is more Jesuit Jiu Jitsu which is where Francis excels. He's made a career of it. His revelations on past Conclaves prove this out. He is a political machine

Tehran? That's where the disgraceful ++Jean Jadot was sent.

William,
You're thinking of the liturgical butcher, Hannibal Bugnini.
