Utterly disgusting behavior from a bishop of the Church.

His comment about, “immigration is my field” is wrong in two ways.

One, the innocent among us is everbody’s field, especially a priest.

Two, your “field” Mahoney, and I refuse to call him Cardinal or Father, should be teaching the Gospel of Christ and saving souls. That is where you are off your tracks and lining the path...

Just another heretic in a long line of heretics.

This is disgusting.

Cardinal Mahoney - you are an ass.

An ass.

Yes, a devout Catholic, who respects your office and your priestly faculties, and who will no longer give you the benefit of the doubt that has been given to you for decades, now realizes definitively and clearly that you don’t respect your own office and priestly faculties.

You should resign your episcopacy and spend the rest of your life in a monastery praying for forgiveness and for all who have been killed and otherwise harmed by the evil of abortion.

Well you know what Mother Angelica said about him to his flock.

Zero obedience to the man.

She then apologized for offending him but still defended her first and only Love, Jesus Christ Himself.

Are we sure this man is even Catholic?

(I like your idea of spending the rest of his life in a monastery)

I’m going to be charitable and try to put the best face on this absurd and loathsome statement by guessing the Cardinal is suffering from dementia.

“This is way beyond my field,” the cardinal responded.”My field is immigration,”
********
Instead of politics, maybe he should try God and spirit.

Reasons why I will never be Catholic.............

Its funny when a liberal organization like factcheck.org gets it right and an alleged Catholic Bishop willfully gets it wrong.

Oh, please don't let the failings of some church leaders keep you away from the true Church of Christ! All denominations have had leaders among them at one time or another who are abject failures and who have done great damage.
We are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God.

The Church needs more good and faithful disciples, especially during these dark times.

Doesn't it make you want to bang your head against the wall? Or against some Cardinal's bloody nogin?!!!

I can't stand that these guys don't have the courage of the convictions of their faith they're suppose to represent to the Catholics around them!

He also knows damn well that money for health care will be supporting abortions.

What does Christ say to those who lead others astray? Woe to them. This Cardinal is one of those Pharisees that Christ railed against.

How do they not see that?!

Thank Heavens for Cardinal Justin Rigali and the many other fine Catholic Cardinals and Bishops.

I'm proud to say he is my Cardinal.

Now,now, I already had to say 2 Our Fathers for visualizing Michael Shiavo getting struck by lightning.

Not killed mind you, just enough to make him see the light so to speak.

I could have sworn the priest had a smile on his face, but it still cost me two Our Fathers
