The cardinal, who is also the newest member of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, spoke to the¦Denver Catholic en Español¦during a visit to Denver last month, motivated by the first communion of his nephew. The Capuchin cardinal, 72, made time during his quick trip to visit the parish served by the Capuchins here in Denver, Annunciation Parish, where he celebrated the morning Spanish Mass on May 28th.¦ Pope Benedict XVI elevated Boston's archbishop to a cardinal in 2006, and in¦January,¦Pope Francis appointed him as a full board member¦of the¦Congre- gation for the Doctrine of the Faith.¦He is also a member of the Pope's "council of cardinals" and president of the Pon- tifi cal Commission for the Protection of Minors. Cardinal O'Malley has a master's degree in religious education and a doctorate in Spanish and Portuguese literature from Catholic University of America. DENVER CATHOLIC: You began your priesthood serving the His- panic community as the executive director of the Archdiocese of Washington's Spanish Catholic Center in the early 1970s. How did you get to that position? CARDINAL O'MALLEY: I was in Washington from 1965 to 1984. When I was in Washington there was a great migration caused by the war in Cen- tral America. When I was a deacon, I was told that I was going to work on Easter Island in Chile with the Capu- chins. But before my priestly ordina- tion, the archbishop of Washington, D.C., told my provincial: 'I have only one priest that speaks Spanish. Leave that brother here,' so I spent 20 years in Washington working with the His- panic community. DC: How do you view the situation of the Hispanic community of that time compared to the current situation? CO: It was the time of the wars in Central America, and many of them were farmers and refugees. They fl ed from violence and misery. Their farms were destroyed by the wars. It was dangerous. There were a lot of¦Salvadorian¦immigrants. At that time, I got to know Blessed Óscar Romero¦very closely.
