Cardinal McCarrick is as much if not more of a problem than Cardinal Law. It is good to see Cardinal George saying many good and sound things -- I pray God he will persevere and prevail.

Cardinal Mahony, however, is an emissary of satan and should be exorcised from the Church.

I read your post several times. We are all culpable as far as sin, but we go to these men for forgiveness. They are our mentors, and spiritual healers. It rocks the very essence of our faith when they walk away from us.

Bump. Some of our Cardinals are good men, but they tned to be non confrontational, they don't want to clean house and throw out the liberals that their predecessors put into offices.

We need Bishops that are both orthodox AND have a spine, not one or the other.

I realize that you are very serious, my oldest brother (father of 14) and I had a great conversation about this "Cardinal" yesterday. My bro is a WONDERFUL CATHOLIC -- who knew some "stuff" about Mahoney's activities which were beyond my own knowledge.

He asserts (through his MANY diocesan contacts) that, in general, this Cardinal intends to be the first American Pope (in his dreams, I hope) -- which accounts for his continuous search for "face time" on TV.

That the least publicized pedophiles or pederasts in this diocese have been shielded and a very few who are single offenders from years ago, who asked that their ministries be away from temptation are the ones that have been publically decried and defrocked.

That the entire "Cursillo" movement, which is totally Christ centered, has been derailed, in the main, because of some view of the "Cardinal's" which is out of line with the Cusillistos.

Finally, that the money spent on the new wave Cathedral and in settlement of lawsuits over the years is a real danger to undermining the entire Catholic Schools program in the Archdiocese.

When my brother tried to apply for a Deaconate, when most of his children were grown, he was denied out of hand, by the Cardinal (because of his large family). By the time another diocese would have honored this request and desire of my brother, he was much older.

Cardinal Mahony is only a small cog in the large wheel of secularism, degradation and politicism within the Church hierarchy, locally ... and money (the root of all evil, indeed) is the playing card that is most effective in LA.

Perhaps we might say a little Satan is in our "leader", without his even knowing it.

Ah, just remembered another very minor point -- at a celebration of some person's anniversary of many years in a lay apostolate of some kind -- the person had as a guest in attendance, one of his grammar school teachers who was in her late nineties at the time and went to her to thank her, etc., after the ceremony. He was rudely and abruptly commanded to go to the Cardinal's side immediately for a ... you guessed it ... a PHOTO OP!

How all of these Bishops can tolerate Homosexuals within the ranks of the clergy is unbelievable to me.

Add to that Criminal Homosexual Perverts who abuse young people is purely the work of the Devil.

It appears to me every Bishop in the U.S. should be checked out and get rid of all Homosexuals

None of the present group intend to do anything about the present crises and they have openly said so.

Gregory ,McCarrick, Stafford,Egan and Law should be thrown out of the Church and there are about 15 Bishops who should follow them out.

Their arrogant and dismissive attitudes toward the needs of the victims and the Faithful are apalling, not to mention their inability to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Yes, I agree, McCarrick was a Bill Clinton supporter, his university, Seton Hall University, I'm sure you know the basketball team, has honored, time and again, many pro-abortion dignitaries including: Prof. Dolores Cross, and Kofi Anan, their college radio station was a heavy metal station for 15 yers until this year when the new bisohp, Myers, arrived. This radio station played music depicting every sexual abomination in the book, plus violence agains man and beast.

This is the same diocese that kicked out pro-life activist Fr. Peter West of www.priestsforlife.org, from a Catholic School Hall where Catholic abortionis Gov. Jim McGreevey was campaigning. Yes, the Catholic church allowed a Catholic/abortionist, partial-birh abortionist, to be allowed to use a catholic school, that's McCarrick for you.

The Cardinal is demonic in my book.
