Prayers for the Archbishop.
Archbishop Levada, Archbishop Emeritus of the San Francisco, likely just fell into the old habit of speaking for the Archdiocese, as well as for his friend.
On a side note, I was in Denver last month and Cardinal O’Malley of Boston was a concelebrant at Mass in the Cathedral with Archbishop Chaput. Turns out they were classmates. They are also Franciscans.
They are also not on the way out (and good riddance to some of these guys hovering around 75), but part of what Fr. Z calls the Pope’s Marshall Plan. Interesting they were classmates, they have very different styles and personalities, and jumped right into their new jobs with gusto.
