"While visiting in San Diego this past weekend, I had dinner at the home of some friends along with a priest visiting outside the country and my mother, who lives near San Diego State University. While driving my mother home, I passed through a DUI checkpoint the police had set up near the SDSU campus before I reached her home, and was found to be over California legal blood alcohol level. I apologize for my error in judgement and feel shame for the disgrace I have brought upon the Church and myself. I will repay my debt to society and I ask for forgiveness from my family and my friends and co-workers at the Diocese and the Archdiocese of San Francisco. I pray that God, in His inscrutable wisdom, will bring some good out of this."
This is such a humble and contrite statement. I love the Archbishop-designate. He has our continued prayers and support. Please continue to pray for Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone as he transitions to San Francisco and continues to suffer and sacrifice for his flock.
God Bless you!
