Is the Very Rev. James Patrick Fischler, CICM, first in line to replace Auxiliary Bishop Oscar Cantu ??!!

If Bishop Cantú should in turn take Archbishop Gomez's place early next year??!!



Since at least September 0f 2007, well - informed clergy were telling all and sundry that Archbishop José H. Gomez was desperately angling to become the next Cardinal of Los Angeles.

They were right!

Now, Pope Benedict XVI has made it clear that Auxiliary Bishop Oscar Cantu could more than likely succeed Archbishop Gómez as the next Archbishop of San Antonio, with a "surprise appointment" being announced by the end of this December, to take effect maybe by the end of this coming February, 2011.

If so, where's the evidence?? :)

Answer:

Its the flyer enclosed in our own St. Mary Magdalene's bulletin this past weekend.

The one inviting us all to go to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Del Rio there to learn great and wonderful things about something called "Archbishop José H. Gomez's Pastoral Letter."

And, for all the Very Rev. James Patrick Fischler's name is no where mentioned, it is his church.

Surely, then, in the course of time, Archbishop Sambi, Papal Nuncio to the United States will get the word....:)
