Actually, the only thing to be "sad" about is that our new archbishop skipped the opportunity to initiate a showdown with the governor.
Jimenez may be in Rome, but so what. He could have signed the statement instead of hiding behind Convocar. Yah, a vicar general is authorized to do this kind of thing, but we don't want to hear from the vicar general, we want to hear from the new guy in the top spot, ESPECIALLY on this issue since the communion-going governor continues to shove baby-killing directly in our face:
Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero, in a statement after the U.S. Supreme Court decision came out, said “it is time to finally put this issue to rest, and now women can have access to safe and legal abortions.”
And why is he in Rome and not here?
What I've heard is that he's there attending the Synod as President of CPAC. Really? Is that where he needs to be after just being installed as archbishop of a diocese that was a cesspool of filth for five decades which gave rise to an incomprehensible scandal, the largest per capita in the whole Catholic world, and a horror which left us financially gutted and spiritually stripped?
Is that where he needs to be when the governor of this place is pulling out all the stops to see to it that abortion is elevated and protected to the level of an unholy sacrament while partaking of the Real Sacrament at the archbishop's own altar?
This was an opportunity for the new archbishop to show us that he is in fact a NEW archbishop. Instead, we have the old one. Running around all over the world, posing for photos, and dumping the hard stuff onto the desks of underlings who can come up with no other condemnation for killing the unborn other than to say we're "sad."
Yes, we are.
SAD.
Sad indeed. SOS, different day. Life goes on. Thank God we still have some good priests tending to the faithful.
