First Hispanic Named as Head of U.S. Catholic Bishops

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Los Angeles Archbishop Jose. H. Gomez was elected by fellow members of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Tuesday to lead the organization. Gomez, who served as the group's vice president for three years, is the first UCCB president of Hispanic descent. Some left-leaning outlets framed Gomez's election as a gesture aimed at President Trump and his stances on immigration, as Gomez is a vocal advocate for migrant rights.
