The bishop said he was robbed at gunpoint of his wallet filled with cash by a man on a bike, near the stage door outside the Paramount Theatre on Saturday afternoon. Then he saw my ring and said give me that ring, Barber said. I was afraid. I d rather have my life, so I gave him the ring.
The bishop said he felt compelled to tell his story, but the fact that he is speaking out may not surprise people who know him. I think most of the time he wears his collar, it seems like people would know he was clergy, and it s horrifying, Oakland resident Ronnie McInerney said. He s such a great man.

The U.S. Bishops’ Conference (USCCB) has again voiced its opposition to the Equality Act, warning it would “discriminate against people of faith” and “inflict numerous legal and social harms on Americans.”
In a strongly worded letter to the U.S. Congress, the bishops assert the Equality Act would impose “novel and divisive viewpoints regarding ‘gender’ on individuals and organizations” while “dismissing sexual difference and falsely presenting ‘gender’ as only a social construct.”
The Feb. 23 letter, signed by five leaders of the USCCB, notes sex and gender “can be distinguished but not separated,” while denouncing underlying “ideologies that attempt to sunder what are inseparable aspects of reality.”
