  El Momiento Ha Venido... Reports: Gomez off to LA

SVILUPPO: Additional confirmation given... Official: press conference scheduled for 10am PT tomorrow at Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.

For the nation's approximately 30 million Hispanic Catholics, a watershed moment is expected to come as soon as tomorrow, with the appointment of one of their own as the shepherd-in-waiting of continent's largest local church.

Corroborating word given to Whispers by a church official informed of the decision, New Advent's Kevin Knight cites unnamed sources to report that Pope Benedict will name Archbishop Jose Gomez of San Antonio, 58, as coadjutor-archbishop of Los Angeles.

In the process, the native of Mexico -- the lone American bishop professed as a "numerary" (full-member) of Opus Dei -- will make history, becoming the first Hispanic prelate placed in line for a Stateside red hat.
