None of those vapid golden-agers will have the faintest idea who he is or what he has done, but they'll pass along the word "conservative" that somebody heard somebody else use for him, so so they'll mark him as unacceptable right from the start. What a major victory for a new coadjutor that will be: to approach his new job with the disapproval of one of the more organized anti-church-friendly (but quickly self-extinguishing) organizations around.

I think Rocco also reported earlier the possibility of another see being carved out of the LA territory. ^^<br /><br />BTW... any chance you're coming to STL for AI's commencement? Rocco is giving the commencement address. :)<br /><br />DTDTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-39240507137675979322010-04-05T23:51:46.217-05:002010-04-05T23:51:46.217-05:00Is Gomez a numerary (I thought those were celibate...Is Gomez a numerary (I thought those were celibate lay members) or a cooperator?<br /><br />He will need prayers and will also need people not to demand reforms overnight.

Flores was a wonderful pastoral bishop, but allowed all sorts of new age nonsense to go on right in the chancery. <br /><br />Gomez will need some top-notch helpers from outside the archdiocese to straighten things out there.Fr.

So this validates their worries :)<br /><br />But I'd be patient. Just as with Benedict, this type of reform will take time. Gomez is not a hatchet job type of administrator, but who knows.Alan Phippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007722006477331382noreply@blogger.com
