Interesting. I guess that would explain O'Malley? He was touted as "conservative". Looks like he is not much different from the rest of 'em.

They called Egan a "conservative" when he was appointed archbishop of NY. AFAIK, a Cardinal who closes a beautiful church (St. Ann's Cathedral) and sells it to the USPS to be torn down is not conservative.

In the media, "conservative" means he won't pay for the taxi to the abortion clinic. From what I can tell, he's another radical-kook lefty who knows only of the corporal acts of mercy. Some rather conservative types here on FR hold out hope for him, but I have none. I am starting to believe that the Pope will allow Boston, Los Angeles, and other liberal areas be literally God-forsaken, so that they may fruitfully be compared to the more orthodox areas.
