Some 54,000 people have signed a petition in support of the San Francisco archbishop who wants Catholic moral teachings modeled or upheld in Catholic schools.
LifeSiteNews.com is also within $2,000 of a fund-raising drive to raise $30,000 to purchase a newspaper ad, which will feature an open letter to Pope Francis to defend San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone.
“I don’t know about you, but I was outraged when I saw the ad by the self-styled ‘prominent’ Catholics who had the gall to ask Pope Francis to replace Archbishop Cordileone simply because he is courageously defending Catholic teachings,” John-Henry Westen, editor-in-chief of LifeSiteNews, said in an email to supporters.
The news group and other allies want to use a newspaper ad to run an open letter to Francis thanking him for “the great gift” of Archbishop Cordileone to San Francisco.
