You don't have to be a Catholic, just watch the news. Cardinal Mahony reassigned known child abusers, he covered up crimes committed in his area and he destroyed evidence the police wanted to bring abusive priests to justice. Just because you like his coddling of homosexuals, don't ignore what the authorities and the victims rights groups have long said about this man.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-52599641080644046292014-04-28T13:30:26.498-05:002014-04-28T13:30:26.498-05:00There is no comparison to cardinal roger Mahoney t...There is no comparison to cardinal roger Mahoney to any priest who sexually abuses anyone.<br /><br />Of course I come from this as a Protestant, but it seems to me that rather than being exclusive, he's trying to be inclusive and reach out to the oppressed. And isn't that what Christianity is abt?

We now have a celebrity Pope who poses for 'selfies' (highly distasteful, to me anyway), makes soft noises regarding Marxism and Homosexuality and in general seems to want to appear to be all things to all men and women. All this smacks of the Vatican allowing itself to be judged by the standards of the world, whereas it should be the other way around. As a tonic, I recommend Nicolas Gomez Davila's aphorisms on Post-Vatican Catholicism: http://sthughofcluny.org/2014/01/nicolas-gomez-davila-and-the-church-of-the-council-aphorisms.htmlKJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07244611384171287114noreply@blogger.com
