On Thursday, Salvatore Cordileone became the leader of San Francisco's Catholic community. Cordileone has been a leader in the Church's opposition to gay marriage, unlike many other Bay Area Catholics.

The Catholic Church on Thursday installed Salvatore Cordileone, a leader in the fight against same-sex marriage, as archbishop of the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

Following his installation as the religious leader of more than 500,000 Catholics in the largely gay-friendly Bay Area, Cordileone, 56, delivered a sermon and spoke about his recent arrest after failing a sobriety test at a police checkpoint.

"God has always had a way of putting me in my place," he said. "With the last episode in my life, God has outdone Himself."

An imperfect man to be sure, but he is absolutely right about opposing the forced recognition and legitimation of sodomy.

God Bless the new Archbishop.

His name means “Heart of Lion”.

He may be imperfect, but at least he knows enough to call a sin a sin.

What an interesting choice to lead the flock. They are so flawed in that neck of the woods, well who knows! Could prove to be good. OR not. Hope he gets the drinking thing under control though.

Thanks SoFloFreeper.

Q. Why is the Christian Science Monitor concerned with matters that are only relevant to Roman Catholics?

A. An opportunity to attack Catholics must never be wasted!

Gay marriage is a line in the sand.

Choose your side. God’s or the World’s.

"He can continue to be the aggressive, outspoken leader of the American Catholic bishops in their effort to prevent civil gay marriage, or he can be the shepherd of his flock. He can't be both, and if he tries, he will fail."

Um, actually he can, and will, be both. I wouldn't be so sure that the archbishop will fail, either. However, this guy will not be submitting to God's will without much resistance.

Sodomites are always telling us that we have the right to practice our religion "behind the walls of our churches."

But even this doesn't satisfy them. They want nothing less than to "burn all their f***ing church buildings down and tax the charred timbers." [Real comment quote on a rabid homosexual website after Prop 8 passed.]
