To celebrate the Daily Lobo’s 130th anniversary, reporters spoke with alums throughout history to discuss their coverage, their memories, and the value of working at the University of New Mexico’s independent student newspaper.
The founding of the Daily Lobo
By Daily Lobo @dailylobo
The student-run newspaper has been a near constant presence in the history of the University of New Mexico. The New Mexico Daily Lobo serves as a resource to students and carries 130 years of University history within its many pages, names and iterations.
The newspaper’s humble beginnings started in 1895 when The Cactus,
a student-run paper, began to circulate on the UNM campus. However, it didn’t last more than a school year and only released a few issues.
Three years later, another group of students saw the need for a student newspaper at UNM. The Mirage began circulation in 1898 and started the legacy of the Daily Lobo as we know it. The aim of The Mirage was as follows: first to advocate higher education, specifically in New Mexico; second to uphold the standards of UNM; third to promote literary excel-
lence among the student body.
During the first year of The Mirage, students managed the newspaper much like a magazine. It carried mainly profiles, student essays and feature stories within its pages. In 1903, the publication switched to printing weekly to cover more current events — at the suggestion of UNM President George Tight.
Reflecting its new weekly publication schedule, the name was changed to the UNM Weekly. The rebranding allowed the paper to boast
more revenue, stability and wider circulation. The UNM yearbook kept the name The Mirage after this newspaper name shift.
The UNM Weekly could be seen around campus for nearly two decades until 1923 when it saw its next name change to the New Mexico Lobo. It maintained its weekly publishing schedule until 1937, when it transitioned to semi-weekly.
In 1971, the student newspaper began publishing five days per week, and became the New Mexico Daily Lobo.
Today, the newspaper is published in print on a weekly basis, news is emailed four days per week, and stories are published online daily. The New Mexico Daily Lobo is still a student-run publication and serves as a crucial steppingstone for upcoming journalists.
Former Daily Lobo photographer recounts Occupy Wall Street movement coverage

When students and community members established the 25-day occupation of Yale Park at the University of New Mexico during the 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement, it was all hands on deck for Daily Lobo journalists.
The Occupy Wall Street movement was a protest against economic inequality and corporate corruption, during which protesters occupied a park in the New York Financial District, according to Britannica. This inspired similar occupations
across the country.
The protest in Albuquerque, which took place at UNM, was called (un) Occupy to honor Indigenous people.
Daily Lobo alum Juan Labreche, a freelance photographer and sophomore at the time, said documenting the movement gave reason to his work. He recalled staying at the newsroom until nearly 4 a.m. to help put together the next day’s print issue, he said.
“I just remember how electric the newsroom was,” Labreche said. “The entire newsroom was working on this. From the managing editor all the way down to the freelancers, we were all dedicated to getting this news out.”
During coverage of the (un)Occupy protests, Labreche said classes and homework became secondary
to the newspaper.
“Working at the Lobo was the most important thing for us,” Labreche said.
On October 25, 2011, police in riot gear arrested at least 40 protesters after their permit to occupy Yale Park — located near Central Avenue and Yale Avenue — expired, according to a Daily Lobo article.
Labreche photographed the events unfolding that night after visiting the encampment almost every day since the beginning, he said.
“It was hectic. It was a down-with-aship feeling around the encampment,” Labreche said. “Everybody knew they were going down, everybody knew that they were next, there was singing
From Johnson Field to CBS Sports: Daily Lobo alums reflect on their journeys
By Izabella KubiakReseigh
For many University of New Mexico students, the Daily Lobo isn’t just a student newspaper — it’s the start of a lifelong career. Two former reporters, Ryan Tomari and Isabel Gonzalez, carved their own paths from the Lobo newsroom to the world beyond.
Ryan Tomari
Tomari’s journey into journalism began before he ever stepped onto UNM’s campus.
A natural storyteller and lifelong sports fan, Tomari worked as a high school sports reporter, inspired by a teacher who had once written for Stars and Stripes. After deciding to stay closer to home, he ended up at UNM, where he found his place at the Daily Lobo in 2008.
Tomari’s introduction to the
Lobo came through a pickup flag football game at Johnson Field, where he met future colleagues who encouraged him to get involved. Soon, he was covering Lobo Athletics, building a foundation that would launch him into the professional world.
“I always enjoyed picking up a newspaper and reading about sports,” Tomari said. “Being at a game, seeing history in person — that’s the coolest thing.”
Tomari leveraged his experience at the Daily Lobo for opportunities at the Albuquerque Journal and later at CBS Sports in Manhattan, where he freelanced as a researcher covering the NFL and college athletics.
Today, Tomari continues his passion for sports journalism as co-founder of The Pit Press, an independent news outlet that covers UNM Athletics year-round. The outlet has grown from a podcast
into a full-fledged media company, with Tomari balancing this endeavor alongside his career in sales.
“Without the Daily Lobo, I wouldn’t have had the friendships, the skills or the drive to start my own media company,” Tomari said.
Isabel Gonzalez
For Isabel Gonzalez, journalism wasn’t the original plan. Born in Mexico and raised on soccer, Gonzalez initially pursued advertising through UNM’s Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media program. A mix-up during freshman advising steered her into journalism courses — and eventually into a new passion.
Through her early involvement with Lobo TV and her transition into sports writing for the Daily Lobo in 2014, Gonzalez found her calling. Covering men’s soccer and later men’s basketball, she dis-
covered a love for storytelling that connected her with the campus community.
“Coming from another country, sports made me feel connected to people here,” Gonzalez said. “It became a way to be part of the culture.”
After graduating from UNM, Gonzalez freelanced for SB Nation, covering Gonzaga men’s basketball during a Final Four run. She later joined CBS Sports, where she now serves as the lead women’s college basketball writer, covering everything from March Madness to the WNBA.
Gonzalez takes pride in elevating women’s sports coverage, using her platform to tell impactful stories.
“At first, I didn’t have a background in women’s basketball,” Gonzalez said. “But my editors

Buy ‘Lobo’ sell high: ‘80s ad manager recounts history of ads at the Daily Lobo
By Addison Fulton @dailylobo
Troy McCasland was the ad manager for the Daily Lobo in 1985. He began his work in ad sales in 1981, and immediately became fond of the Daily Lobo as a community.
“It was a fraternity, it was a business organization, it was an education,” McCasland said. “It was like everything all wrapped up into one. It was truly the best part of my whole time at UNM.”
McCasland was fascinated by the vast archives of old Daily Lobo issues and the rich history of the newspaper. He recalled seeing Lobo coverage of anti-Vietnam protests when National Guardsmen struck students with bayonets.
“I literally watched the history of UNM unfold before my eyes, as told by generations of journalists and ad execs in their stories and in their ads,” McCasland said.
Noting that many companies that had been ignoring his calls
about advertising with the Lobo had previously advertised with the paper, McCasland was inspired to run historical ads in the satirical April Fools’ Day issue.
“It was like a light bulb went off, and I thought, ‘Why not April? April Fools’ is coming up, and that’s a big issue for the Daily Lobo,’” McCasland said. “And I got this idea to run the old ads as they appeared in the Daily Lobo in the ‘20s and ‘30s and ‘40s and ‘60s.”
According to McCasland, the then-ad manager was less than enthused by the archival ad idea, but the then-business manager and potential advertisers were on board.
“In that instant, I learned the power of leaving a good message — a good, detailed message,” McCasland said. “Every single customer called me back, and I just started selling this special issue that I created without permission.”
Now, McCasland himself is a part of history; the ads of the ‘80s look very different from the ads of
today. For example, the Lobo used to regularly sell ad space to cigarette companies, McCasland said.
“When I was a kid, we used to buy cigarettes at the roller skating rink by putting two quarters into a vending machine,” McCasland recalled.
“And there were no laws against kids smoking. In fact, at my junior high, when I was in junior high, I had a smoking pass, and I could smoke with my parents’ permission.”
What we sell is not only different now, but so is how we sell it.
McCasland noted the ways he has seen the business model of advertising and print journalism change.
After working for the Daily Lobo, McCasland founded several companies, including United Reporting, a direct mail service for lawyers, and AgentSquared, an automated real estate marketing platform.
“Craigslist single-handedly decimated the whole newspaper industry. Overnight, all the revenue was gone,” McCasland recounted. “And now what you’re selling is a digital copy,
and you’re selling impressions.”
McCasland encouraged people to look at advertising as a way to understand the past.
“Some things are the same,” McCasland said. “You’re still selling branding, and you’re still trying to convince people to respond to an ad.”

‘I was number 11 of the people that were bayoneted’ A Daily Lobo photographer’s experience covering Vietnam War protests at UNM
By Lily Alexander & Nate Bernard
@llilyalexander & @natebernard14
This story was originally published on July 22, 2024.
On May 8, 1970, 11 people at the University of New Mexico were injured by National Guard members armed with bayonets during a Vietnam War protest. One of these individuals was Daily Lobo photographer and reporter Stephen Part, who was stabbed with a
bayonet in his back as he leaned over to help a fellow student.
Now a retired history and government teacher; Part said he was carrying his press badge and wearing a helmet labeled “press” when he was stabbed.
“I felt something like pressure — it wasn’t immediate pain. I stood up and my belt slid up over the puncture … I put my hand back there and there was blood,” Part said.
The bayonettings took place amid nationwide demonstrations on college campuses, prompted
both by the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War and the Ohio National Guard shooting and killing four student protesters at Kent State University.
At UNM, protests began after U.S. President Richard Nixon ordered the invasion of Cambodia on April 31, 1970, according to a UNM timeline. They further ramped up after the Kent State shootings, Part said.
“With all that was going on, it was basically all hands on deck. And if you weren’t on campus that day, one of the editors or assistant editors would call you up and say, ‘We need you to bring your camera along,’” Part said.
By May 8, over 100 protesters had occupied the UNM Student Union Building for three days. Early that day, Part, with Kent State in mind and a hunch the University wanted the protesters gone before the weekend, said he waited in a parking lot across the street from the Albuquerque National Guard location. He told Daily Lobo editors he would find a payphone and call if he saw any indication guardsmen were headed toward UNM.
After a few hours with no developments, Part returned to campus. Because of concerns that potentially biased UNM students and alumni were members of the Albuquerque National Guard, Martin Vigil — the New Mexico State Police Chief — had
called in guardsmen from elsewhere in the state, Part said.
On campus, Part photographed the guardsmen armed with their bayonets. Near the Student Health and Counseling building, Part encountered a colleague who had been stabbed in the arm. The last photo Part took before he was stabbed was of the sidewalk covered in blood.
Part bent over at the waist to help his colleague, and a guardsman stabbed Part in the back.
“I didn’t think I was going to get (stabbed). I had a press pass, which I was holding out from the elbow. I had a football helmet I borrowed from one of my friends – or a motorcycle helmet – and I taped on there ‘press,’” Part said.
Part’s belt acted as a tourniquet, mitigating the rapid blood loss seen in puncture wounds. Part, believing the wound could be treated with a bandaid, walked to a nearby table to receive medical treatment, he said. There, his orthopedist – who traveled to campus after hearing about the National Guard involvement – said Part needed to get to a hospital.
Part took an ambulance to what is now known as UNM Hospital to have his wound stitched and bandaged, he said. There, doctors revealed his wound was about 4 inches deep.
Guardsmen also stabbed KOB-TV cameraman Bill Norlander, who had
been filming the scene near the SUB, according to a May 11, 1970 Daily Lobo article.
“(Three guardsmen) closed in, stabbing (Norlander) with the bayonets and shoving him back. Eventually he had to turn and run, leaving a trail of blood that shows he jumped off the porch about 40 feet further on, landing in a rosebush,” the article reads.
The next day, Part walked from his house on Gold Avenue to the Daily Lobo office – then just south of Marron Hall – to develop his photos.
“It felt like it was our mission to get this recorded,” Part said.
The darkroom was located up two flights of stairs, and Part said he had to stop for breaks as he climbed. He developed the film, then showed the photos to fellow Daily Lobo staff who later printed them in the paper, according to Part.
“We did a great job, if I do say so ourselves,” Part said.

Daily Lobo alum reflects on his 2020 protest coverage
By Maria Fernandez @dailylobo
During his two years at the Daily Lobo starting in early 2020, Liam DeBonis worked first as a reporter before becoming photo editor, and later, copy editor.
His coverage included the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests held in Albuquerque, which DeBonis said helped him discover his voice as a journalist and photographer.
“I think one of the most important things that we covered during my time was the climax of the national anger and rage and conflict,” DeBonis said. “I was out in the street pretty much every day, every event, every protest — whether it was antilockdown, pro BLM, or counter BLM. Whatever the case, I was out there with my team, and we were trying to cover it the best we could.”
Bella Davis, who now writes for New Mexico In Depth, worked with DeBonis as a reporter at the Daily Lobo. Being so new to the field, they were learning as they went — getting advice from more experienced reporters and educating themselves on staying safe at protests.
“I think partly because the pandemic had just started a few
months prior,” Davis said. “There was already so much grief and uncertainty and fear.”
Only four months after spreading to the United States, the COVID-19 pandemic had killed over 100,000 Americans by May 23, 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
DeBonis was present when a protester was shot during a peaceful protest for the removal of the conquistador Juan de Oñate statue outside the Albuquerque Museum in June 2020. He remembers spending the entire night editing photos and writing the story with Davis and fellow Daily Lobo reporter Andrew Gunn.
“It was something that no student journalist should ever have to go through,” DeBonis said. “But it was really important that we did and really important that we covered it and got it out there, because there was a lot of conflicting narratives about that day, and we did our best to get the story straight.”
One moment from DeBonis’ coverage of the Black Lives Matter protests still sticks out vividly in his memory, he said.
In early June 2020, DeBonis and then-Daily Lobo photo editor Sharon Chischilly rushed to downtown Albuquerque at midnight after riot
police were deployed to a protest.
DeBonis and Chischilly approached the line of police standing opposite the protesters to take photos before stepping onto the street corner five feet away, DeBonis said. Not long afterward, police used tear gas to disperse the peaceful protest, Debonis said.
“One of them gives us the signal to hit the deck, and so we all dropped to the floor, and they start shooting stuff over our heads at protesters behind us. A police officer throws a tear gas canister, but the wind blows it back right towards us,” DeBonis said. “Of course, they’ve all got gas masks. We have nothing.”
DeBonis, Schischilly and a photojournalist from KRQE joined hands to walk out of the tear gas.
“We couldn’t see. We were worried we would run right into the cop in front of us holding a rifle,” DeBonis said. “Despite that conflict, there were so many sweet people there. There were people asking if others needed water or food. They did their best. I was just there to capture that.”
When DeBonis started at the Daily Lobo, he wasn’t thinking about the historical context his photos could have, he said.
“Once I started photographing this movement that was nationwide, if not international, I realized I was
a part of something,” DeBonis said.
“I just felt that if I could get a photo out there that shows their struggle, or shows humanity in their truest form, that there would be some sort of peace from it.”
DeBonis’ favorite photo he took was from the Oñate statue protest, depicting protesters standing with their hands raised. The photo later made the cover of the Daily Lobo in fall 2020.
DeBonis went on to work as the copy editor at the Albuquerque
Journal and a staff photographer for Taos News.
Working in journalism, it’s hard to hope for specific outcomes from your photos, he said. But even if it’s a photo of something terrible, Debonis always hopes that how it’s used will increase hope or help the people affected.

Limón Romero’s journey from Daily Lobo journalist to LA Times sports editor
By Elliott Wood @dailylobo
Iliana Limón Romero is the assistant managing editor for sports at the Los Angeles Times, but before her job at the sixth-most circulated paper in the nation, Limón Romero wore more hats at the Daily Lobo than many people have in their closet at home.
“I was a reporter, I was an assistant news editor, I was managing editor,” Limón Romero said — on top of being a photographer and, during her final year at the Lobo, the editor-in-chief. “I did some copy editing shifts and some design shifts, and tried my hand at a lot of things.”
From 1998 to 2002, Limón Romero studied journalism and Spanish at the University of New Mexico after growing up in El Paso, Texas. She joined the Daily Lobo her freshman year.
The opportunity to join the Daily Lobo early was pivotal in her decision to attend UNM over other schools with more notable journalism programs, Limón Romero said.
“The Daily Lobo was five days a week, and they took freshmen. They let you come in, they let you try, they let you fail,” Limón Romero said. “They let you just keep going and keep trying and learning, and that’s the only way you can figure out whether you can do it.”
Limón Romero’s motivation for studying journalism
was abundant, as her mother’s family owned a newspaper in Mexico and held a career in journalism in high regard. But her curiosity and penchant for reading, writing and asking questions when she was younger “coalesced” with her family’s background to make it the clear choice, she said.
When asked about memorable moments during her tenure at the paper, Limón Romero recalled decisions made in the newsroom about coverage of the 9/11 attacks. The newsroom had to determine which wire photographs were ethically responsible to publish. The staff also came together to pursue related stories they felt were important to share, including those of ensuing protests, she said.
“I will walk away from UNM with a bachelor’s degree, but I credit the Daily Lobo for providing me with an amazing and invaluable education,” Limón Romero wrote in her Daily Lobo farewell in 2002.
Limón Romero went on to cover crime and later sports for the now-defunct Albuquerque Tribune. She then moved to the Orlando Sentinel, contributing to its coverage of the deadly Pulse nightclub shooting in 2016, earning the paper Pulitzer finalist honors in 2017 for Breaking News Reporting.
Limón Romero joined the Los Angeles Times in 2021 after 13 years with the Sentinel, eight of which were spent as
editor for college sports and professional soccer.
While she had always kept in touch with sports at UNM and had experience covering high school basketball, Limón Romero’s transition from covering crime to sports came after a longtime high school football and basketball reporter for the paper quit just before football season began, opening up the position for her, she said.
“It took some time, because people expect you to be an expert immediately, and they’re critical of you because, in my case, they were used to male sports writers,” Limón Romero said. “So it was that level of criticism and amount of homework that needed to be done, but I really enjoyed it.”
Limón Romero currently serves as president of the Association for Women in Sports Media, a nonprofit organization that offers mentorships and support to women in sports media.
“It’s an area where I think creativity and just embracing of new challenges is really encouraged,” Limón Romero said. “I’ve been fortunate that I’ve been able just to continue to move up and lead different groups of people and try dynamic and interesting things.”

A review of a review of ‘The Shining’ from the ‘80s
By Addison Fulton @dailylobo
In July 1980, Daily Lobo reporter Lester Slick published his review of Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining.” He did not like the movie very much, calling it “spotty” and “so-so.”
Now it’s my turn to write for the Lobo. I love “The Shining,” so here’s my critique of his critique.
“The Shining” is a psychological horror film about novelist and recovering alcoholic Jack Torrance, who takes a temporary job caring for the Overlook Hotel during its offseason. The hotel is haunted and plagued with a supernatural “shine,” though as Jack descends into madness, no ghost could be more terrifying than him.
Slick, who the Daily Lobo could not find to contact, did write some about what he liked about the film — briefly praising the performances of Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. He wrote: “This movie ultimately relies upon the acting talents of Nicholson and Duvall,” noting that only Nicholson could “hold this tenuous flick together.”
While I agree with his thoughts
Wall Street from page 1
and everybody was locked in arms.”
Adrenaline was high when police arrived in riot gear and with batons, Labreche said. He recalled being misted by pepper spray when police maced protesters.
on the performances — they’re incredible — I feel the review overall does a disservice to both “The Shining” as a film and the medium of film as a whole. One note Slick makes is that he wished a scene from the novel had made it into the film. This is a critique you’ll see leveled at a lot of page-to-screen adaptations that I’ve never found to be fair.
What a film can sometimes lack, in terms of plot points, it can make up for in atmosphere and sensory evocation. “The Shining” succeeds, where I admit some adaptations fail.
Kubrick’s “The Shining,” despite Slick’s analysis, went on to permanently alter the visual vocabulary of horror films and cinema as a whole. Is there a single other carpet pattern that matches those shimmering red, orange and black hexagons in terms of icon status? How many creepy twins now haunt the silver screen? How many homages to Jack busting the door down? Hell, where do you think we got the “Kubrick stare”?
I love “The Shining.” I knew its legacy before I knew it. Perhaps its reputation as a classic clouds my judgement, though I think I’d love it
either way. It’s interesting to see first reactions to a film that achieved legendary status decades later.
That is what I love about an “outdated” film review. We’ll never know if the future will prove us right about art. I’ve written many critical reviews; I’ve laid into films that were far more harmless, far harder. I’ve called Oscar-winners garbage and raged for hundreds of words against films that broke box office records. I’m sure that if the mediums of film and print survive, the culture editor 50 years from now will have some choice words for me.
The point of art is to make us think; the point of a review is to make us talk. Though I disagree with Slick’s take on “The Shining,” it does thrill me that I can critique a critique 45 years later.
It speaks to the constant changes in the Zeitgeist, but also the constancy and permanence of art. As long as we keep creating, we’ll always have something to talk about.

Labreche said the protesters were glad the Daily Lobo was there to document the encampment.
“I think the protesters gave strength to the journalists and vice versa,” Labreche said.
Labreche said he thinks the Daily Lo-
“I think we all felt like we were in the right place,” Labreche said. “We knew being arrested was a possibility, but we believed in what we were doing, so we stayed.”
2010s Sports from page 1
believed in my writing skills. Covering women’s sports is about treating them with the same level of respect and depth as any other beat.”
For both Tomari and Gonzalez, the Daily Lobo provided more than
bylines — it offered opportunities, relationships and the foundation to build fulfilling careers.
“Stick with what you love,” Tomari said. “It can take you further than you ever expected.”
bo’s coverage humanized the protesters.
“If you humanize protestors, your constituents, you give your readers reason to identify with somebody there,” Labreche said. “Most of the people protesting these things aren’t violent.”
The hardest part about covering (un)Occupy was being a neutral observer, Labreche said.
Whether building a news outlet from scratch or leading national basketball coverage, both credited their time at the Lobo for helping them find their voice — and encouraged future journalists to follow theirs.
“When you see something going wrong, you kind of want to step in and speak up,” Labreche said. “You feel kind of limited through your publication’s reach, but at the same time, all of us at the Daily Lobo, we worked our hearts out to make sure that what we saw got published.”
“Say yes to opportunities, even if you don’t know where they’ll lead,” Gonzalez said.

War, fraud and golf: New Mexico journalist recounts the Daily Lobo in the 2000s
By Jaden McKelvey-Francis @jadenmckelvey
At the Daily Lobo in the early 2000s, Jeff Proctor cut his teeth covering campus protests against the Iraq War, uncovering billing fraud at the University of New Mexico’s Health Sciences Center and chasing stories on the golf course — all of which helped him launch his career into investigative journalism.
Proctor was the assistant news editor for the Daily Lobo during the 2002-03 school year. He later worked for the Albuquerque Journal, the Santa Fe Reporter, New Mexico In Depth, and KRQE and is currently the executive producer of New Mexico PBS.
Proctor’s “first real stab at investigative reporting” came during his time at the Daily Lobo when he investigated reports that the former director of the pain management clinic at the UNM Health Sciences Center was billing patients for services that were never rendered, he said.
Federal officials from the Department of Justice also investigated the false billings, which resulted in the former director’s medical license being revoked and fines being issued to the University, Proctor said.
The same day the story broke, students protested then-President
George W. Bush’s administration and the war in Iraq, while pro-Bush counter protesters gathered as well, Proctor said.
“There was a very spirited debate
in the newsroom about how to place stories on the front page for the next day,” Proctor said.
During that time, when print was more commonly circulated and
digital media was less relevant, the placement of stories on the front page carried more weight than it does now, he said.
The variety of stories he covered
while working for the student paper helped Proctor develop his journalistic curiosity before he moved into professional journalism, he said. Some of his other Daily Lobo ventures included writing about the firing of the contractors hired to construct the Student Union Building, traveling with and covering the UNM golf team and investigating fake IDs throughout the football team.
“I think that one of the first and most important skills is to become a good generalist,” Proctor said. “I think you figure out what you really like, in terms of what a beat or an issue focus might be for later in your career. I think part of the way you figure that out is by writing about everything.”
The Daily Lobo was a place to make friends and have fun, while also taking the job very seriously, trying to break news and compete with the other daily papers, Proctor said.
“Student papers are often thought of as learning labs,” Proctor said. “But that doesn’t make a fuck-up any less painful or any less consequential — and we certainly fucked up plenty, and I’ve learned a lot of lessons about that.”

Archbishop of Santa Fe reflects on the life of Pope Francis
By Maria Fernandez @dailylobo
On April 21, Pope Francis died at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican. In an interview with the Daily Lobo, the Archbishop of Santa Fe John C. Wester described the Pope as a humble, kind and gentle man who put people at ease.
“I think Pope Francis brought the virtue of compassion and mercy to the forefront of his ministry,” Wester said. “I think people picked up on that: Catho -
lics and non-Catholics alike, worldwide and in New Mexico. He was a parish priest, and he looked upon the world and the whole Catholic Church as his parish.”
Francis’ motto throughout his papacy was “A merciful God has called me,” which was a message he lived by, Wester said.
“He had a humility that allowed him to know that he was a sinner and know that he was forgiven, and through God’s grace, he could be enriched,” Wester said. “I think that’s the message he gave everybody:
that God is a merciful God, the church is a merciful church, and that the church is here. Jesus is here. The church is here to support people, to encourage people.”
Wester believes the pope was very cognizant of the suffering happening throughout the world and aware of the purpose of his position, often reaching out to immigrants and people on the peripheries — including people in the LGBTQ+ community and those who are persecuted, he said.
Francis often called the priests at the Catholic par-
ish in Gaza because he knew that they were suffering, while at the same time, he was saddened by the attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, Wester said.
Francis called the congregation of a Roman Catholic church in Gaza every night and prayed for them, according to NPR.
Wester feels that Francis was important to Catholic New Mexicans because he spoke Spanish and had family-oriented values, he said. The pope brought compassion to the forefront, a value embedded in New Mexico’s culture, according to Wester.
Wester met Francis on June 29, 2015, after Wester was installed as the twelfth archbishop of Santa Fe, according to the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.
“Pope Francis was an attentive listener, very honest and had a good sense of humor,” Wester said.
Wester and other bishops from the Southwest were invited to sit with Francis during mass in Rome. They talked to the pope afterward, Wester said.
“He was very sincere and genuine,” Wester said. “He always said that bishops are called to teach, but a teacher has to listen first. And he did that. He was genuinely interested in what you had to say. And then he would be very honest. He wouldn’t beat
around the bush.”
Francis inspired Wester to be a pastor rather than an administrator, which Wester said is a large part of being an archbishop.
“I think Francis encouraged me to be more of a people bishop, to be more out there, to delegate the administrative duties more to my staff so I can be with the people,” Wester said.
“So I rebuilt my church initiative to focus on working with the priests and the people on rebuilding the Archdiocese.”
Francis also encouraged Wester to listen more to people before making up his mind on an issue, which he said can be a pitfall for a bishop, Wester said.
“The pope taught me that sometimes it’s important to be able to deal with confrontation, with difficulty,” Wester said. “You have to sometimes suffer, but the suffering always leads to Easter Sunday. Those are some of the things that the pope taught me.”
Wester hopes Francis’ successor will follow the John Henry Newman doctrine of development, which encourages the church to respond to new challenges, Wester said.
“I hope that he continues to stand against what I’m seeing — this is from my point of view now — but to stand against the authoritarianism that we’re seeing in the global geopoliti-
cal world today,” Wester said.
“You look at President Putin and President Trump, and President Xi Jinping.”
Francis spoke about what he referred to as unbridled capitalism, and his concerns about these financial systems going unchecked if there isn’t a sense of dignity for the worker, Wester said.
“It’s kind of risky to say that, because there are a lot of rich people in the world who don’t like to hear that,” Wester said.
“But nonetheless, it’s part of the Gospel, so I hope that the new Pope will continue the tradition of pope Francis in that regard.”
Francis’ funeral was held on Saturday, April 26. A papal conclave will soon elect the man — women cannot be ordained priests in the Catholic Church — who will become the next pope, according to CBS.
“I’m hoping Pope Francis’ successor will be a good listener, as Francis was, and take what he hears to prayer and be willing to follow the Holy Spirit, even if it means taking a risk,” Wester said.
