Pax Christi USA learned this morning of the resignation of Bishop Gabino Zavala, auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and bishop-president of Pax Christi USA. In a letter from Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez, it was stated that Bishop Zavala’s letter of resignation was accepted by the Vatican after he had disclosed that he is “the father of two minor teenage children who live with their mother in another state.” As suggested by Archbishop Gomez in his letter to Catholics in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, we offer our prayers for all those involved and all those who are affected by this news during this difficult time.
