This morning, Pope Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Cordileone to the Supreme Apostolic Signatura in Rome. Let us pray for our shepherd and the Holy Father.

Upon his appointment, Archbishop released the following statement:

"I am deeply grateful to the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, for this appointment as a member of the Supreme Apostolic Signatura. I receive this responsibility with a profound sense of stewardship, recognizing that every office in the Church is entrusted for the service of Christ, His people, and the mission of the Gospel.

The Supreme Apostolic Signatura assists the Holy Father in safeguarding the proper administration of justice within the life of the Church. Justice in the Church is never merely legal; it is ordered toward the salvation of souls, the protection of the rights of the faithful, and the strengthening of ecclesial communion. I am honored to contribute to that important mission.

This appointment comes during a special year for the Archdiocese of San Francisco as we commemorate the 800th anniversary of the Transitus of our patron, St. Francis of Assisi. His life reminds us that true greatness in the Church is found not in honors or titles but in loving Christ, serving His people, and embracing the Gospel with simplicity and joy. I pray that the example of St. Francis will continue to shape my own ministry.

This appointment does not involve a reassignment from the Archdiocese of San Francisco or require me to relocate to Rome. My primary vocation remains that of shepherd of this archdiocese, and I will continue to devote myself to serving our priests, deacons, religious, and parishioners while fulfilling the additional responsibilities entrusted to me by the Holy Father.

I ask the faithful to pray for Pope Leo XIV, for the Church throughout the world, and that I may fulfill this responsibility with wisdom, charity, and fidelity."

In 1951, the Knights of Columbus began a campaign to add the words “under God” to the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance. Grounded in historical precedent and a grassroots movement, the effort reached Congress and culminated when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill amending the Pledge on Flag Day, June 14, 1954.
