...dedicado a los latinos y que ha servido como modelo en su clase en el pa?s. Por a?os se ha manejado que el papa deber?a nombrar un cardenal hispano en el sur de Estados Unidos, pero el predecesor de G?mez en San Antonio, la sede l?gica para el puesto, era demasiado independiente -teol?gicamente hablando-, para los gustos de Roma.
