Doesn't Cardinal Mahony remind you of Al Sharpton and Tawaney Brawley??????????????
=================
Good Cardinal calls on us to side with illegal immigrants.
Bad Cardinal, having denied the L.A. District Attorney's Office access to records of as many as 100 priests, calls on us to disregard impending laws of Congress if they are not to his liking.
Good Cardinal speaks for the last, littlest, lowest and least. Bad Cardinal, and his lawyers, would have us believe the L people do not include children whose innocence was stolen by men once entrusted as their spiritual shepherds.
Good Cardinal urges tolerance.
Bad Cardinal has given his tolerance to predatory priests; forgiving their sins and transferring them hither and yon, thus continuing to put children in harm's way.
Ancient history?
Mahony told the Post the abuse issue is a thing of the past. For him, it may be. But it is not a thing of the past for those who were molested, who still are shackled psychologically, whose lives were ruined.
Perhaps Mahony senses what his critics feel; that his cover of leadership has been blown, and that, to regain the upper hand, he must steer his life back to his more storied, more moral days as a champion of down-trodden immigrants. Or perhaps the lure of bringing more Catholics into the archdiocese from across the border is simply too compelling to resist.
Ray Boucher, attorney for molestation victims, has noted that in Boston, Orange County and other places, the church has turned over thousands of sensitive documents to the authorities. The atmosphere in those places has been refreshed, if not totally cleansed.
Mahony needs to join them. Until he does, his moral pronouncements will have a hollow ring. His archdiocese will be, as Boucher has said, an enclave "filled with evidence of a conscious disregard for the safety of children."
And his leadership will remain suspect.

Absolutely!
Cardinal Mahony, in my mind, has lost any moral ground to challenge or lecture fellow Americans on any issue due to his unwillingness to accept responsibility for priest pedophilia.
I like Mahony in some ways to Ted Kennedy, another figure who should never lecture anyone on their shortcomings or lack of compassion.
Let me guess, it was "seared, SEARED, into his memory". Sheesh, that's right up there with Clinton waxing nostalgic about church burnings.
He reminds me of every liberal that comes "this close" to a microphone.
Ping for more of Roger the dodger.
A lot of Catholics would like to see Phony Mahony doing the perp walk in an orange jump suit and wearing matching wrist and ankle bracelets and chains.
Cardinal Mahoney needs to consider the teachings of St. Fu.
Yeah, you heard me: Catholic Dangus calls Catholic Archbishop Roger Mahony a scumbag, who deserves to be put in the prison cells with all the warped sexualities of the men who as boys were raped by Mahony's men.
I will support any Mexican or Immigrant who is Spanish speaking that came into this country legally and went to work. The illegals can go back where they came from and take their employers with them.
