What a fascinating development!
Oakland Bishop Salvatore Cordileone, one of the creators of California Proposition 8, was arrested around 12:30 AM on Saturday for driving under the influence. Oops. That kind of puts a damper on the announcement of his recent promotion to Archbishop of San Francisco.
When Father Peter Petroske was recently arrested in Michigan for a DUI, he was immediately suspended from his duties. (He also happened to be driving naked.) It will be interesting to see if +Cordileone is suspended from his duties and sent off to detox or whether bishops on the fast track to cardinal, who author anti-gay constitutional amendments, get a free pass.
ABC reports that Archbishop-elect Cordileone was arrested at 12:30 AM Saturday morning in the College District of San Diego State University. Why was a drunken +Cordileone cruising at that hour? I doubt he was canvassing against gay rights.
