Some also are bound to be wary of his close association with Archbishop Charles J. Chaput [in youtube embed below], his mentor in Denver and one of the church's most stridently conservative voices. Chaput, for example, feels that Catholic office-holders who cast pro-choice votes ought to be denied Communion. He recently gave an address in Texas in which he argued that John F. Kennedy was wrong in insisting on separation of church and state.
In California, a staunchly Democratic state where one out of every four people is Catholic, that sort of confrontational leadership could have serious consequences.

Will Archbishop Gomez Reform LA RCC?
This conservative is ready and willing
To bring to the Church something thrilling:
A faith in the Lord
And a flock that's on board
With her rock who's in Rome. (That's God willing.)

Your comment is welcome by me.
As long as a lim'rick it be.
By God if it's not,
It's going to rot
In some com. box down under the sea.
I've found that the sonnet of love
Speaks softer than wings of a dove.
If Shakespeare found time
To write ev'ry rhyme,
You can also write verse from above.
(i.e., all comments must be in limerick, English sonnet, or another poetic form (not free verse per se).)
