Episcopal bishop says he was denied entrance to Catholic archbishop s installation Mass
What started off as a rocky relationship between the Episcopal and Roman Catholic bishops of San Francisco got even worse on October 4 when Episcopal Bishop Marc Andrus said he was denied entrance to the installation mass for the city’s new Roman Catholic archbishop.
Andrus said he arrived at St. Mary’s Cathedral 30 minutes before the installation mass for Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone was scheduled to start but was kept in a holding area with an employee of the Catholic archdiocese until after the service started.
