Well,if Bishop Zavala only molested little boys instead of having a consensual heterosexual relationship,he’d probably still have his job.

Sadly the Latino community and Latin America are the only areas where the dinosaur Catholic Church still finds hope in being taken seriously in a 14th century style. When I do research in California’s Central Valley, which has a en enormous specifically migrant community, it’s fascinating to see how families spiral into conflict because a family member becomes a Protestant or dates a Protestant, or stops believing in religion itself.

Well, Papal Bully for Zavala! It will be a great relief for him not to have to live a double life
Report thisany longer. And, released from Catholic shadows, his wife and children will rejoice. This is the best I’ve see yet of starting the New Year right! We should all be so honest and forthcoming!
