This morning the Holy See announced Pope Benedict XVI’s decision to accept the retirement of Bishop Raymundo Joseph Peña and to name Bishop Daniel Ernest Flores as the new Bishop of Brownsville, Texas, USA.
 
wow, and I heard it hear first. we are blessed

can you please post a link to the news story, I can’t find it anywhere, thanks
 
OK, that sucks, that really, really sucks. I LOVE Bishop Flores 😦
 
And you can add to that, he has been our only active auxilliary bishop.

We only have two that are not retired ( and bishop Gumbleton, who fortunatly IS retired)

The other auxilliary bishop we have is Bishop Reisse, and he is fighting cancer right now.

I hope +Benedict sees fit to assign us at least one new auxilliary bishop, perferrably three.

It’s an awful lot of work for Archbishop Vigneron to handle by himself.
 
Those of us from the Brownsville Diocese are hungering for news on our new bishop.

How is he as a homilist and preacher? As a liturgist?

Tell us…

He is a quiet, unassuming man. Really really thoughtful, in both senses of the word.

His litugies are rock solid and he is one of the best homilists I have ever heard.

In other words, the news that we are losing him really put a damper on the day. But you are getting a fine bishop.

Here are a few of his homilies,

On Authentic Catholic Femininity ( at a Women’s Conference)

I noticed that this article addressed him as “Monsignor Daniel Flores” :confused:

I don’t think they put their top notch reporter on this article 😛

The Monitor is a lousy newspaper. They have no quality control and their articles almost always have glaring errors in them. Of the major metropolitan dailies in Texas (Dallas Morning News, Houston Chronicle, Austin American-Statesman, El Paso Times, San Antonio Express-News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Corpus Christi Caller-Times, The Monitor and the Laredo Morning Times), the Monitor is by far the worst.

You will not be disappointed. He is humble, open, and very, very, VERY faithful.
