It is great news. However, the good Bishop will be responsible to the Pope as a Bishop, not as a member of Opus Dei.
 
Also the chair of the Committee on Migrants and Refugee Services for the U.S. Conference - the voice of the Catholic church on immigration reform

Mahony has been a strong voice for immigration reform ---- thankfully he is being replaced by someone who also speaks strongly for reform - the next big discussion!

Archbishop Gomez: “It is the greatest civil rights test of our generation,”

I wish him all the best

Immigration reform is an issue that desperately needs to be discussed

Yes, but which way will the good Bishop go with that?

Based on the consistent record of the USCCB, it’s a good bet that he’ll go the catholic way: Press for laws and policies based on the innate dignity of the human person FIRST, and the other rights of property onwership and national sovereignty second.

Sadly, it will be an uphill battle in the current USA culture that pretends that immigration is a choice between an anarchy of invading hordes or a totalitarian wall building program. Lost, as usual, is the voice of principle, subsidiarity and proportionality.

All that aside, the idea that an Opus Dei formed bishop will soon get a red hat is VERY good news indeed! (Better avoid LA, Dan Brown!)

Yes it is and, may I say, we need more appointments like this.
 
When it comes to illegal immigration, the first thing should be to make legal immigration easier. Secondly, we must crack down on businesses that hire illegal immigrants. These businesses usually pay illegal immigrants below minimum wage.

We must take a firm stance against illegal immigration, but we can do so without being unfair. We can make it easier for people to get in legally.

I will say that I have a growing sense that there is spiritual work going on with immigration and the struggles our nation has over finding a proper solution. I feel there are many things going in the world right now that point to something huge coming and this is just part of that. Maybe I am nuts though. 🙂

I think you’re correct and it is going to be exciting to watch the Lord. As believers we can admire our King.
