José Horacio Gómez
.... During his tenure in San Antonio, Gómez earned a reputation as an orthodox leader who reversed some of the more liberal-leaning initiatives in the diocese.[12][13] He disbanded the chancery's Justice and Peace Commission after its members expressed their opposition to his support of a state constitutional amendment that banned same-sex marriage.[12] During the 2008 presidential election, he publicly expressed concern when St. Mary's University, the oldest Catholic university in Texas, allowed pro-abortion rights candidate Hillary Clinton to hold a campaign event on campus.[9] He also voiced concerns when another Catholic university, Our Lady of the Lake University, allowed a high-profile nun who some claim supports female ordination to be a keynote speaker at an event.[13] He welcomed Summorum Pontificum, which granted greater freedom to the Tridentine Mass, saying it would preserve "the rich heritage and legacy of the Church".[14] ....
... Gomez also said it would be wrong for observers to conclude he was a conservative because he was a priest of Opus Dei.[9]
On September 18, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Archbishop Gómez one of the Synod Fathers for the 13th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization in October 2012.[21] ....
Gómez has also publicly criticized then-Senator Joe Biden (himself a Catholic) for his past comments on abortion.[29] Gómez wrote a statement to be released on January 20, 2021, day of Biden's inauguration, which warned that the incoming administrations policy agenda would advance moral evils on several fronts, including abortion, gender, and religious liberty. The statement was blocked by the Vatican Secretariat of State hours before it was due to be released. [30] It was eventually released several hours after the Holy See released a communique from Pope Francis extending "cordial good wishes" to Biden.

(552 posts)6. Well this Bishop is certainly not following the teachings of Jesus
So that means he is NOT a Christian.
