Former Highest Ranking American in Vatican, Cardinal William Joseph Levada ... - Christian Post
Cardinal William Joseph Levada gestures during a news conference at the Vatican, October 20, 2009. Pope Benedict has approved a document that would make it easier for Anglicans to join the Roman Catholic Church. Cardinal William Joseph Levada, once the highest-ranking American official at the Vatican, was arrested last Thursday in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, for drunken driving and is now set to respond to the charge in court next month. The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported that Levada, 79, of Menlo Park, California, who was on vacation in Hawaii with fellow priests, was stopped at about midnight Thursday and charged with DUI. A police spokeswoman told the publication that Levada was pulled over after a Kona Patrol officer saw him swerve while driving northbound on Queen Kaahumanu Highway north of Kealakehe Parkway. She said Levada was driving a 2015 Nissan Altima and was alone in the car at the time. Robert Pauole, who heads the police Traffic Services Section, said Levada is likely to have had California driver's license taken by the arresting officer, but not suspended. "The officer should have given him a four-page document," said Pauole. He was also supposed to be given a document that would tell him how to contest it (the Administrative Driver's License Revocation Office case). Source: www.christianpost.com
