Clergy sex abuse is once again on the agenda as U.S. Catholic bishops meet this week — but so is a potentially historic milestone: Los Angeles archbishop Jose Gomez, an immigrant from Mexico, is widely expected to win election as the first Latino president of the bishops’ national conference.
“Men and women do not become less than human, less a child of God, because they are ‘undocumented,’ ” Gomez wrote. “Yet, in our nation, it has become common to hear migrants talked about and treated as if they are somehow beneath caring about. “The three-day meeting, opening on Monday in Baltimore, will mark the end of the three-year presidential term of Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, the archbishop of Galveston-Houston.
The bishops also are expected to authorize development of a “comprehensive vision” for Hispanic/Latino ministry, to be completed over the next few years. Although Latinos account for about 37% of all U.S. Catholics, they are no longer a majority-Catholic group, according to the Pew Research Center; a recent Pew survey said 47% of Latinos in the U.S. now call themselves Catholic, down from 57% in 2009.
McElroy attracted attention on social media with a powerful speech Wednesday in San Antonio, in which he decried a “bunker mentality” pervading Catholic leadership in the U.S.
