I'm not criticizing, just pointing out the obvious. Roger Mahony used corporate lawyers to buy his way out of having to admit he helped cover up the crimes of about 250 priests who were pedophiles. At least that many priests raped children, not little pats on the buttocks, fully raped, in regions where Mahony had direct authority over those priests as bishop. Mahony worked his way up to Cardinal from Stockton, to Fresno, to Los Angeles, where he oversaw a $660 million settlement to 510 victims whose stories have barely been heard. Mahony is now retiring with honors. He's leading parades and conducting special masses, what is wrong with people, are they so mezmerized, do they still think they have to revere men like Mahony or they will be denied entry to Heaven?
Pathetic.

I mean, the news media rerun these stories, copy and pasting their way to obliviating the journalism profession, never pointing out the blatant hypocrisy.
Head for the hills, these are strange times, you can only believe bloggers, no corporate news outlet can be trusted...

As several readers pointed out, Mahony is not technically a felon, as he has never been convicted. But CofA is a blog, written by a blogger, and the headline reflects the beliefs and feelings of the writer. This is not the New York Times, this is me blogging.
