Tired of reading about Los Angeles mayor’s extramarital affair? Quite frankly I am, but today I came across the most recent –and weirdest– twist to the story: It turns out devout Catholic Latino women are now flocking to church to light up votiva candles and pray for a reconciliation between Villaraigosa and his wife of 20 years. Otherwise… he’s going straight to hell!
An unusually long story on today’s San Jose Mercury News quotes several Latino women who are said to be “morally outraged” about the whole thing.
“I pray with God’s help they find a way of reconciling,” one woman told the Mercury reporter. “If they don’t, Antonio is lost. He is lost to his family. He is lost to himself. Most importantly, he is lost to God.”
I don’t know if Mr. Villaraigosa is really lost to God, but I am sure as hell his pecadillo has been a blessing for Hispanic-related blogs (including my own, of course). Is there anything else going on?
