Los Angeles, CA:

Catholic Archbishop Jose Gomez of San Antonio is expected to be introduced at a press conference at 10 a.m. today as the successor to Cardinal Roger Mahony.

The announcement will take place at the Lady of Angels Cathedral in Downtown Los Angeles.

The Mexican-born Gomez, 58 has been the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in San Antonio, Texas since 2005. He has been appointed by Pope Benedict as coadjutor-archbishop of Los Angeles. He will succeed Cardinal Roger Mahony, who is due to retire soon after turning 75.

Gomez has an impressive background, one that should suit him well as the leader of the Roman Catholic Church here in the Southland. Ordained as a priest of Opus Dei and with degrees in philosophy and accounting, Archbishop Gomez has also been named one of the 25 most influential Hispanics in America by Time Magazine in the past.

Los Angeles is the home to millions of Latino Catholics, so the appointment of Archbishop Gomez should become a very popular choice.

Cardinal Mahony was appointed Archbishop of Los Angeles by Pope John Paul II on July 16, 1985. He was installed as the fourth Archbishop of Los Angeles on September 5, 1985. Pope John Paul II elevated him a cardinal on June 28, 1991.

Born in North Hollywood, Cardinal Mahony is the first native Angeleno and the third Archbishop of Los Angeles to be created a cardinal. Cardinal Mahony was ordained to the priesthood May 1, 1962. He was appointed Titular Bishop of Tamascani and Auxiliary Bishop of Fresno January 7, 1975. He was appointed Bishop of Stockton February 26, 1980.

More than five million Catholics reside in the Los Angeles Archdiocese and has five Pastoral Regions, Our Lady of the Angels, San Pedro, Santa Barbara, San Fernando, San Gabriel.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
