@ReubenR80027912 In reality, it’s like 4 dudes and they just fly in every farm trade group. You literally get 10 sugar beet farmers from MN in Macy’s tie shirt combos asking you to block Mexican sugar.

@hf_222222 Most annoying thing about that guy is he isn’t even a theologian. He is degree is in “Religious Studies”!!!

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@carbo_al He’s been to my parish in DC a few times with his wife

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@EricRSammons I think they wanted DC to have a White Conservative Auxiliary to do the fundraising that McElroy can’t/wont do. +Menjivar-Ayala is the more ready of the two Hispanic Auxiliary bishops so he got bumped up.

@xpstudiosp @t0bitsdog @EJdc DC and the American church as a whole have very few AA priests. As one of the only AA priests and a guy who has a Harvard Law degree, Boxie was going to be a Bishop from the moment he entered seminary

@AaronBlake Using a map that lists NJ, NY & MD as not gerrymandered is unbecoming of a national politics reporter.

@ReubenR80027912 People don’t understand the unspoken brotherhood of the Amex lounge at 6am on a Monday

@WalkingHymnal @JosephVu495590 @antoine_rask @JohanRuiterRui1 @crawlings13 Is Portland growing like those two? In terms of Catholics and vocations? Obviously would love to see +Sample as a Cardinal

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@WalkingHymnal @antoine_rask @JohanRuiterRui1 @JosephVu495590 @crawlings13 The thing in Philly’s favor is the $$ connection. +Perez has already been over to Rome a few times to introduce the leaders of the Papal foundation and CLI to the Pope

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@JosephVu495590 @WalkingHymnal @antoine_rask @JohanRuiterRui1 @crawlings13 I think the next Archbishop of Atlanta will be made a Cardinal

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@tbjkickers @SidKhurana3607 Don’t want to marry a farmer so they went over. WASPs liked them for domestic work since they spoke english and were white.

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@WalkingHymnal Honestly if the Pope brings back the fundraising thing, he would be a great fit to lead that. Make him a Bishop and have him travel the world raising money

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@varadmehta Underrated how big a shill Wren is

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@ReubenR80027912 @MattWalshBlog It’s a fair analysis, but ignores the 10 million refugees that are going to flood Europe and the US

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@Fiona__CL @CatholicSmark @RorateCaeli @jr_fee @hf_222222 Unfortunately I think his personal friendship has him in a bit of denial. I was on a sales call with him over the summer when all this first started and he seemed to think it was just a small group making problems for +Martin. No idea if the new stuff has changed his mind

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@WalkingHymnal @cath_menarion Ya they take the difference. Also if you go over your goal you don’t get to keep all the extra, but you do get some of it back

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@WalkingHymnal Call your local congressman’s district office. They have a dedicated staff person who can usually fix stuff like this pretty quickly

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@JohanRuiterRui1 @N_A_Scotty @JLLiedl Interestingly something like 35% of bishops will reach retirement age in the next 5 years. Not counting new Auxiliaries

[Patrick @Patrick58627194]

@JohanRuiterRui1 @N_A_Scotty @JLLiedl Phoenix Bishop Dolan. Protege of McElroy
