I liked this bit from the NYT article on Gomez:

While talking about his background, the archbishop abruptly stopped to sip from a cup.

“This is getting a little emotional — forgive me,” he said, adding jovially, “By the way, it’s just water.”

The Archbishop isn't just savvy and learned, he is genuinely funny. We will miss him greatly in San Antonio.

I don’t know how many times I’ve counted the word “staunch” followed by either “conservative” or “traditionalist” in describing the archbishop.

That’s funny, I don’t remember Cardinal Mahony ever being referred to as a “staunch liberal”.

The media always has an agenda, and it’s far from conservative or traditional. Archbishop Gomez is stepping into a hornet’s nest, and he will need our prayers in the days ahead.
