- Pope Leo is sending West Virginia a new bishop, a man who came to America by hiding in a car trunk. After living here as an illegal alien he gained citizenship in 2006. He was ordained in 2004, by Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. That alone could potentially be a huge problem. We know that McCarrick was very fond of his Latin American seminarians. It' s not unfair to ask Menijar-Ayala if he ever saw or heard of any unsavory behavior from the cardinal and how he chose to deal with it.
Some people are guessing that this appointment is a political move from Pope Leo. If so, it was a mistake. People are going to be watching the new bishop very closely for two reasons: the McCarrick connection and to see what comes out of his mouth. Should he decide to champion illegal aliens, it's going to get messy.
