Well, Mahony may not be fat, but he’s a comfy rich b**tard who should sure know another “defender of the poor” when he sees one.
Cardinal Mahony, damaging The Church from within, merits one special punishment I believe.
“Well, Mahony may not be fat, but he’s a comfy rich b**tard ...”
You are right, perhaps more than you realize.
An acquaintance of mine was one of the first to bring the huge lawsuit regarding molestation. The behind-the-scenes, confidential information that had to be provided to the plaintiffs, about the wealth Mahony controls is positively staggering.
I was shocked, to tell you the truth, as I knew the Church was wealthy but never did I think it was to the extent that it is. Further, the amount of true luxury items (such as a fleet of helicopters, etc) was a surprise to me.
Many cardinals are just politicans, and as the saying goes “Birds of the feather flock together”.
