An AP article has made a major announcement for the people of Los Angeles.
The pope on Tuesday named Archbishop Jose Gomez of San Antonio, Texas, to take over the Los Angeles archdiocese when its current archbishop retires.
The appointment of the Mexican-born Gomez as coadjutor for Los Angeles puts him in line to become the highest-ranking Latino in the American Catholic hierarchy and the first Latino Cardinal in the U.S.
Gomez, 58, is a priest of the conservative Opus Dei order.
It’s nice to see Opus Dei formed priests in positions like this one. We need more of them!
