New Catholic bishops show growing Latino population | Detroit Free Press | freep.com: "The ordination today of three new Catholic bishops in Detroit signifies the growing Latino population in the Catholic Church.
One of the new bishops ordained today, Bishop Jose Arturo Cepeda, 41, was born in Mexico and will become the youngest Catholic bishop in the U.S. Another who was ordained.
Bishop Donald Hanchon, 63, is known for being a vocal supporter of immigrant rights and is pastor at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, where more than 80 percent of its members are Latino."
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
