Los Angeles Catholic reveals stories of faith and hope
In an interview with Vatican News, Pablo Kay, the Editor-in-Chief of Angelus News, in Los Angeles, describes the incredible stories of faith and hope, that hint at miraculous, while also shedding light on the gravity of what he calls a ‘humanitarian disaster’ that has struck the Californian city and which has drawn Pope Francis’ repeated attention.
Pablo Kay, the Editor-in-Chief of Angelus News in Los Angeles, is grateful for Pope Francis’ closeness to the fire-devastated US city, and describes himself as “very fortunate.” “The fires didn’t affect me or my family directly as we were at a safe distance from where the fires happened.” However, as he recounts the dramatic situation in this interview with Vatican News, as a sort of ‘humanitarian disaster,’ he recognizes how it has affected his work dramatically to provide around-the-clock coverage, and not only of what is going on in terms of the destruction, but also of countless stories and initiatives, especially of the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the largest US Archdiocese with about 300 parishes.
During this conversation, Mr. Kay demonstrates that despite the dramatic destruction, lives lost, and looming ‘insurance crisis,’ that he manages to maintain hope this Jubilee, especially after having seen almost-seemingly-miraculous episodes in the midst of the suffering, driven by faith and hope.
