Oh blechhh!

Last time I saw home he was screaming to 3000 willing listeners at a Catholic womens forum ‘VivaCristo Rey!!!!!!!!’

As if Jesus hates America and Latinos deserve to take over. He oversees the many churches in San Antonio where the Mexican flag is displayed on the same level as the American flag

Gag

Don’t go all lib on us and start confusing political and Church. He wasn’t elected. He was appointed and anointed and his chief job is teaching his flock. Which he did in this instance. It is remarkable only because it is remarkable. And that is a tragedy.

"¡Viva Cristo Rey!" doesn't mean "God hates Americans and love Latinos" It means "Long live Christ the King."

You know this very well, of course, but I'm mentioning it for the sake of of other readers.

As for the Mexican flag: some interpret it as a symbol of a Hispanic Reonquista. Similarly, some also interpret the CSA (Confederate) "Southern Cross" or "rebel" flag as a symbol of White Supremacy. Some interpret the Gadsden flag as a symbol of anti-U.S. government insurrection. But it is not a just judgment. People who display such flags should not be judged by the most extreme possible interpretation.

When Pope John Paul II visited the USA in 1979, my hometown was practically bedecked with Vatican flags and colors (yellow and white) and Polish flags and colors (red and white) by proud Polish American Catholics. No subversive motive was intended or imputed.

National flags are always flown at the same level. This is basic international flag etiquette.

Bottom line, Bishop Garcia-Siller did not act improperly with regard to the Catholic slogan or the Mexican flag.

Viva Cristo Rey! simply means: Long live Christ the King!

Please explain in detail how that simple expression suggests that "Jesus hates America" or that "Latinos deserve to take over."

As to the flags, the papal flag is the flag of the nation known as Vatican City and it is displayed in most Catholic churches as an identification with the papacy and not as a suggestion that the pope (and given the nature of Frankie, God forbid!) does or would or should somehow rule the USA.
