I hope so, too. Could it get any worse?

He is opening the Walk For Life in March with a PRAYER. That did not happen with Mahoney, ever! He will be a blessed relief here— it’s been a long drought.

Some of them were wary of his history as a member of Opus Dei, a controversial Catholic organization with a reputation for extreme orthodoxy.

Well, that's good news. Actually, I have known quite a few people in Opus Dei, and although it is orthodox, it is far from the caricature of the Spanish Inquisition that its opponents like to paint it. And they make a specialty of reaching out to the young, especially college students.

It would be great if they can get that heretic Mahoney out of there and start turning things around. It will not be easy, because I'm sure there are hundreds of heretics ensconced everywhere in the Archdiocesan staff and in catechetical supervision, etc. And no doubt a fair number of dubious priests, who cannot simply all be kicked out, for lack of priests to replace them.

But Mahoney must be one of the last remaining big-time losers. Good to see him leave.

Conservative?

American citizenship is absolutely irrelevant to him.

I resent the role the Catholic Church has played in establishing, maintaining, and supporting a separate nation of Mexican nationals here in Los Angeles and the entire state.

Absolutely. But he works very quietly and humbly. I hope the people in the LA Archdiocese keep us informed of the little changes they see.

God bless Archbishop Gomez (any minute now ...) and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. “He has restored the years the locust has eaten ...”
