- SAN FRANCISCO — Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone was installed Oct. 4 as the ninth archbishop of San Francisco during a solemn and subdued ceremony that drew more than 40 episcopal leaders and 250 local clergy.
- Outside the cathedral, a small group of protesters known as the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” — men dressed as women religious — marked the occasion with media interviews attacking the new archbishop’s strong public opposition to same-sex “marriage,” while a much larger group of about 100 well-wishers, organized by the Neocatechumenal Way, celebrated his arrival with signs applauding his stand.
- But while news reports highlighted the controversy stirred up by the Vatican’s appointment of a prominent leader of the 2008 Proposition 8 effort to bar a redefinition of marriage under state law, the city’s archbishop focused on the task of rebuilding the faith in a low-key homily that set aside hot-button issues.
