Pope Francis announced Sunday that San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy would be one of 21 new cardinals. McElroy was the only one selected from the United States.
San Diego Catholic Bishop Robert McElroy was named by Pope Francis on Sunday as one of 21 new cardinals, which will be first time that the local diocese will be headed by a cardinal.
“He has the heart of a pastor,” said the Rev. Efrain Bautista of Corpus Christi Parish in Bonita. “The pope wants bishops to have the ‘smell of the sheep,’ and Bishop McElroy is one of those bishops.” Cordileone said recently he will no longer allow House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, to receive Communion because of her stance on the issue.“It will bring tremendously destructive consequences,” McElroy wrote in May 2021. “The Eucharist is being weaponized and deployed as a tool in political warfare. This must not happen.”
Francis has been upending centuries of tradition by choosing cardinals from areas that have never before had cardinals, such as San Diego. It used to be that becoming archbishop in a major city like Los Angeles, San Francisco or Philadelphia was an almost certain steppingstone to becoming a cardinal. Currently none of the archbishops of those cities are cardinals.
The Rev. Efrain Bautista tells attendees of the 12:30 p.m. Mass at Corpus Christi Parish that Bishop Robert McElroy was selected to become a cardinal.
