…
It has become clear to me that they just don't care about you.
To them, you are nothing. To them, you don't matter.
Let me repeat that.
To City Hall, you don't matter.
One person at a time inside of this great Cathedral to pray? What an insult!
This is a mockery. They're mocking you and, even worse, they are mocking God.
To City Hall, you don't matter.
But maybe that itself doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter because, to me, you do matter. Yes, to me you do matter very much.
I am here because you matter to me and because I love you.
We are here together because we love God and love one another as brothers and sisters in Christ."
Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone
Archbishop of San Francisco
