ah, but mother angelica gave him H... a couple years ago for a document on the "modern" mass...he tried to have her censored, but the vatican merely told her to retract here statement...which she did so sarcastically that I was lying on the floor laughting...
But then, saints outrank Popes in the RC church...
I remember that. God bless Mother Angelica.
Uh oh.....then comes the smackdown.
Mahony has made a career of dissent....but let anyone dissent from his diktats.....then the smiley mask falls and the liberal thug appears in all its ugliness.
>>>>So you saying Mahony outsmarted them?
Absolutely not. Mahoney is their ally. They take the sashes off so that they don't embarrass him with the Church heirarchy.
It benefits both of them to work this way. It allows Mahoney to say "well, they weren't using the sash and Communion to make political statements in my Church, that's why they can receive."
It allows the Sashers to claim there is a split in the Church, that some cardinals let them recieve, others deny them.
So both Mahoney and the Sashers benefit, scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. Notice: Flynn said they couldn't receive only cause they were wearing the sash. They could have taken it off and received in MN too, and everyone would have still known who they were and that they did it.
