Napa Institute: Day 3
Last evening ended by talking long into the night over cigars and adult beverages.
With the morning we are back at it. I had a chance to break the fast this morning with Bp. Michael Barber of Oakland. He has a lot of challenges in his heavy mandate. Say a prayer for vocations for that diocese. I am confident that he will make a good impact on Oakland: he strikes you right away as sharp as a razor as well as cheerful and charming. Meeting these bishops, men such as Bps. and Archbps. Vann, Coakley, Conley, Barber, Cordileone, Smith, Vasa has been encouraging.
This morning we had a talk by Archbp. Chaput on Pope Francis and Economic Justice. I still have to process it.
Here is a sight for sore eyes. It doesn’t get much better than this. Sen. Rick Santorum chatting with The Extraordinary Ordinary, Bp. Robert Morlino of Madison.
