The Gospel story of Zacchaeus makes

for an ideal stewardship reflection. Good

stewards have faith in, and give thanks

for, an almighty and powerful God who

transcends the universe, but who gives

personal attention to every human being.

God loves his creation, his people. He

lives in them, and through his Holy Spirit,

instills a fundamental goodness in them.

Good stewards recognize this movement

of the Spirit as a gift, and make efforts to

cultivate this gift and grow in their faith.

Take time this week to stop and look

around you, be aware of God’s awe-

inspiring creation, and give thanks for

God’s loving care and concern.

(CRUX) As it turns out, the Trump v. Clinton showdown isn’t the only election of interest to American Cath-olics this fall. The U.S. bishops are also going to be voting for their own new leaders in mid-November, and in some ways their choices are almost certain to be read as a referendum on how the American hierarchy wants to position itself vis-à-vis the new winds blowing in the Church under Pope Francis. By tradition, a slate of ten candi-dates is nominated for the presidency and the vice-presidency of the confer-ence, and they select both positions from among those nominees. By tra-dition, though not an inviolable one, the current vice-president is consid-ered the front-runner for the presiden-cy. Right now that’s Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston. The nominees are: Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond of New Orleans, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., of Philadelphia, Archbishop Paul S. Coakley of Oklahoma City, Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Gal-veston-Houston, Bishop Daniel E. Flores of Brownsville, Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, Arch-bishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron of

Detroit, Archbishop Thomas G. Wen-ski of Miami and Archbishop John C. Wester of Santa Fe If one were to open a betting line, I suspect a DiNardo/Gomez ticket would attract a lot of money, but any-thing can happen. Gomez not only is seen as doctri-nally solid but basically non-ideological (he’s a CPA by training, and an imminently practical figure), he also puts a face and voice on American Catholicism’s burgeoning Hispanic wing and has been among the leaders of the American bishops on immigration reform. One immediately striking point is that none of Pope Francis’s recent picks for new American cardinals are on the list. In the case of Bishop Kev-in Farrell of Dallas, that’s explicable by the fact that he’s moving to Rome. With Archbishop Blase Cupich of Chicago and Joseph Tobin of Indian-apolis, however, they’re remaining in the States and theoretically would have been eligible to hold office. These nominations were largely compiled before Pope Francis an-nounced his new cardinals, but to the extent that was a factor, it might have hurt Cupich and Tobin rather than helped them. In general some Ameri

(Vote continued) can bishops believe cardinals already have enough promi-nence. Scanning the list, Aymond, Wen-ski and Wester all would be perceived as fairly “Francis-friendly” prelates, while names such as Chaput, Lori and Vigneron would be seen as more con-servative counter-points. Historically speaking, there’s also a grand tradition in Catholicism of local bishops trying to embrace what they see as the strengths of a given pope, while also doing what they can to remedy perceived weaknesses and to plug holes in his agenda. For instance, bishops in earlier centuries who saw a particular pope as a terrific governor but a weak evange-list might try to step up their own mis-sionary efforts, in order to pull some of the weight themselves, not because they didn’t like the pope’s govern-ance, but because they were trying to help him out. Even if perceived “conservatives” win, therefore, it doesn’t necessarily have to be seen as a Brexit-style pullout from the Francis experiment, but perhaps as a vote for balance and, to use a churchy term, “complementarity.” The thinking might be that since Francis is an ex-cellent pastor and a determined re-former, we could use some other folks in leadership disposed to ensure that the doctrinal baby isn’t tossed out with the bathwater. Rules stipulate that the president is chosen by a simple majority vote. Following that, the vice-president is elected from the remaining nine candi-dates. In either case, if a candidate does not receive more than half of the votes cast on the first ballot, a second vote is taken. If a third round of voting is necessary, that ballot is a run-off between the two bishops who received the most votes on the second ballot.
