Y creo que el gobierno federal lo escuchar? cuando traten asuntos relacionados con las leyes de inmigraci?n?. El a?o pasado, G?mez fungi? como obispo auxiliar, trabajando para Chaput en Denver. Pero en diciembre, el papa Juan Pablo II coloc? al modesto cl?rigo de 53 a?os por encima de cientos de obispos para ser el centro...
