Out of curiosity…he appears to be wearing a amaranth red/crimson sash…is this common of the Archbishop of Indianapolis? O is this just the light?

It appears the lighting is weird. At least to me. I don’t think he’s a cardinal.

This is not the Ordinary of the Archdiocese in which I live ( that would be Archbishop Vigneron).

Rather, I spent last July working on a missionary project in Kahama, Tanzania. I was fortunate to stay at the residence of Bishop Minde and got to know him rather well. ( as you would expect if you are spending every breakfast sipping coffee with him in his kitchen 🙂

Last October, when he was in the United States, he made the special effort to come and visit with my family.

So he is ‘our’ bishop 🙂

awwww that must have been wonderful! Think it was destiny you met him. Friendships like these happen for a reason 🙂 I was in Kenya (just visiting) which borders to Tanzania and had I not had my immatriculation at school waiting for me I’m not sure if I had flown back home. I was overwhelmed by the open hearted people and by the fact that the people were so happy with the little that they had.

It really was amazing. I never in a million years considered living in such a place, but I now think fondly of the concept. ( My wife would never let me though, she happens to like having plumbing and electricity for some reason 😉 )

And living in the bishop’s house was also it’s own humbling experience. Being so near such a holy man for such a period of time really brought out my own spiritual shortcomings. :o

Just a reminder…to make it easier for the rest of us, please say what diocese (include state) your bishop leads.

P.S. Detroit folks: thank you for Bishop Flores. He has been a Godsend for the Diocese of Brownsville in Texas.

I would remove my pictures then, but I can’t since it has been so long since I posted them. I really have no desire to tell the world my diocese, etc. It’s way too easy for some random person to figure out where I go to church.

TheMC is correct. It’s simply the lighting. He is not a cardinal and doesn’t wear a red/crimson sash.
 
Well… Not exactly my bishop, but Archbishop Listecki is my metropolitan.
