This fits in nicely with the Catholic Church’s push for more members..

I know you are just being snarky, so I shouldn't even reply, but Archbishop Gomez has been very open, and helpful to the Converts from the Episcopalian/Anglican Church who wish to corporately cross the Tiber.

There are some of those Parishes in the LA Archdiocese. They wanted to become Catholics as a Parish, but Mahony would not allow it as it wasn't "ecumenical". I hope that Archbishop Gomez will be more amenable to those wishing to join via that Pastoral Provision process.

I admit, I liked Archbishop Flores - he got my husband to pray the Rosary - but I’m glad times have changed, too.
