“Only two years in the Catholic hierarchy, Auxiliary Bishop Oscar Cantú is serving as the temporary head of the 700,000-plus-member archdiocese [of San Antonio]. By most accounts, Cantú at 43 has been fast-tracked for a diocese of his own.”
“This fall, the Vatican is expected to name the successor to [Archbishop Jose] Gomez, who moved in May to Los Angeles to lead its archdiocese next year. The Vatican is expected to reveal its pick this fall.”
“Cantú’s five academic degrees, fluency in four languages and calm, pastoral style don’t hurt his chances for the post. Nor his appeal as a regular joe known for poking fun at his short stature. Yet, he also is an intellectual versed in classical literature and art and the writings of celebrated theologians. And his Mexican American heritage — especially his personal journey out of a Houston barrio — have grounded him in the needs of Latino Catholics, projected to be the U.S. church’s majority in 10 to 15 years.”

The article is a good profile of an up and coming bishop.
