"While visiting in San Diego this past weekend, I had dinner at the home of some friends along with a priest friend visiting from outside the country and my mother, who lives near San Diego State University. While driving my mother home, I passed through a DUI checkpoint the police had set up near the SDSU campus before I reached her home, and was found to be over the California legal blood alcohol level.
"I apologize for my error in judgment and feel shame for the disgrace I have brought upon the Church and myself. I will repay my debt to society and I ask forgiveness from my family and my friends and co-workers at the Diocese of Oakland and the Archdiocese of San Francisco. I pray that God, in His inscrutable wisdom, will bring some good out of this."
Maybe he should spend more time not endangering the lives of innocent motorists and less time fighting the tide of history with his pro-discrimination agenda...
When people in the US object to illegal immigration they are called racists.
When they complain about muslims, they are called bigots.
Can we call you a bigot for opposing the religious views of others?
Keep in mind, I'm pro gay marriage, just pointing out a hurdle people need to recognize.
Besides, pro-gay marriage in California lost because of the influx of mexican immigration with both a strong religious tie against homosexuality as well as cultural.
I'd really like to see the blood alcohol content on this guy. If its a .08 to .11, yes, it is quite possible he didn't know he was over the legal limit. However, if he is a .30+, then throw the book at him.
Mistakes happen to every walk of life. If you drink alcohol and think you have never driven over the legal limit, most of you are liars. The man admitted responsibility for his mistake and is willing to take responsibility for it. What more do you people want? A public flogging?

However, you chose to not address this.
WHY?
I stated that the bishop is pro-discrimination. That's a fact. He is 'pro' (in favor of) 'discrimination' (laws that are tailored to the natural sexual orientation of heterosexuals). Those are facts. Not name-calling, facts. If you consider that a hurdle, too bad.
I don't oppose religious views, I oppose codifying those views in law. But, hey, go ahead and call me a bigot because I oppose stoning to death as a legal penalty for adultery. Not sure what your point is, but, there you are.
As to your wondering why I didn't address the latino vote in Prop 8, why would I? This thread is about a bishop. I notice you didn't address the asian vote. But, as with the latino vote, since it really isn't all that relevant, I'm not surprised that you didn't address it. Unlike you, who seems astonished that, in a thread about a bishop who supports Prop 8, I didn't go off on a tangent about the latino vote....
Now, since you seem so bothered that I didn't swerve from the bishop to latinos... what about the latino vote? Yes, latinos as a group supported Prop 8. So what? I don't oppose the ethnicity of those who voted for Prop 8, I oppose the views. That's why, unlike you, I don't drag ethnicity into this discussion.
Blood is about 80% water. So if water turned to wine, he'd have a pretty high BAC.

I'd like him to register and for some marking to be put on his car(s) so that he can be easily identified at all times.

I never considered that.
