¿El cardenal de Boston, Mass., Sean O'Malley, capuchino?. Lo que más me gusta es que presidió en Granada, en la base de Armilla, la beatificación de fray Leopoldo de Alpandeire, en septiembre de 2010. O'Malley (que sabe español) lo contaba así, en su blog:
I first came to know of Fray Leopoldo through Sister Manuela, a
Carmelite sister of Vedruna who worked with me for many years in
Washington. She is from southern Spain, near Granada. She said her
family had a great devotion to him and she talked about pilgrimages to
Fray Leopoldo’s tomb.Interestingly enough, the next person to discuss Fray Leopoldo with
me was the wife of Jose Saramago. Jose was at UMass-Dartmouth after he
was awarded the Nobel Prize for Portugese literature and I was invited
to have lunch with him there. His wife is from Granada, and has great
devotion to Fray Leopoldo. They are expecting a huge celebration because of his 50 years of
going door-to-door in the city and being so close to many families. He
was certainly a figure very well known and beloved to the people of
Granada. In fact, one of our priests in the archdiocese is actually from Fray
Leopoldo’s very parish, Father Israel Rodriguez. He hopes to accompany
me and be present at the beatification as well.I will be very pleased to see the Archbishop of Granada, Francisco
Javier Martinez, who is a very dear friend of mine. I know him from his
time studying in Washington. Archbishop Martinez, who is very close to
the Communion and Liberation movement, has been very active in
interfaith outreach to the Muslims who are now very numerous in that
part of Spain.
