is the first time I experienced what it feels like when a friend is appointed bishop of the Catholic Church .
The first feeling was of joy. informed me Angel Pascual the priest, who was rector of the seminary of Solola, Guatemala. Angel knew of our friendship with Charles.
was during the administration of Angel Pascual, and rector of the Seminary "Our Lady of the Way" (Solola), I met Escribano. Then a deacon and holiday would visit the seminary in Guatemala.
The first match was soccer, goalkeeper, he did play very well, and I defense. Well, not if you have time to continue doing so. But more interesting were the long talks we used to engage, in the soccer field just-ecclesial issues. He was very interested in Civil War period who lived in El Salvador, I tried to explain the whys and wherefores of it. Greatly admired Archbishop Romero. We stopped to look at how the ideological motives can be extremely dangerous to the life of the Church.
I used to send literature on moral issues, because that is his specialty and has particular interest in family and youth. Have you ever visited his land in Zaragoza (Spain) and was a very nice person.
Well, congratulations Carlos. I think your election as bishop, so you know, is correct.
