RC throws Mahony under the bus
L.A. archbishop relieves retired cardinal of duties

Exactly what I thought when I read that a couple of days ago. The Church knew all this stuff years ago yet only act on it when it becomes public. In this particular instance, since Mahoney deliberately sent priests to NM for counseling to avoid the reporting to police which was required in CA, I would think prosecution under organized crime statutes would be in order.

I tried to give you some time to post this but you dropped the ball again;) so I had to do your work for you again....:D You need to step your game up.
I agree with the prosecution idea. I am tired of people like Mahoney getting a pass while children suffered at their hands with full knowledge of the hierarchy. On top of that they initiated a cover up and allowed even more children to be raped by these bastards. I say, prosecute and if found guilty, put the SOB's in general population and let them find out what it's like. The other thing that confuses me is why this country is protecting these people. The parishioners seem to be accepting this. The fact that there are no protests and mass exodus from the RC is mind boggling. For those who question why more people are not protesting in the ME (many many are) you may want to ask the same questions of any Roman Catholic you happen to meet. How can they support a criminal organization that preys on children and protects the rapists? |
I apologize for falling down on my job. I am acquainted with a priest who left the church over this.
|
Yea, well... don't let it happen again.
Stepping down is not enough. It's a step in the right direction but voices need to be heard. They need to be yelling at the top of their lungs. Kids are being raped and no one seems to give a crap. This has been going on for 20-40 years that we know of (probably far far longer) and the church is still in business. WTF?????? |

It was a step in the right direction for the priest who quit. He had some integrity.

A show of integrity is confessing or stepping down when there is no hint of getting caught. Once it comes to light and the crap is about to hit the fan, confession or stepping down is merely an attempt to distance oneself from the issue or mitigate the ill feelings. |
There was no indication in Kerry's post that the acquaintance was guilty of any crime. He was not at risk of being caught for anything. He was a priest in the RC. There was no indication in Kerry's post that he knew anything about what was going on with Mahoney or the Diocese. I do not see his stepping down as an apology for anything but as an acknowledgement that he was part of something (the RC) that lost it's way and was doing bad things. I believe you are condemning a man with out any evidence and no cause.
I believe he should be speaking out now if he is not and speaking loudly. |

It's really hard to give that group the benefit of the doubt seeing their history. It would be easier to give YOU the benefit of the doubt if my wallet was missing right after you visited me than someone or some group with that track record. |
Perhaps we are speaking of two different people. I was referring to the acquaintance of Kerry, not Curry or Mahoney.

I have more use for an automatic transmission :repuke: than I do for the Catholic Church, or any other religion.

Yes, all Churches are exactly like the Catholic Church.:rolleyes:

Parishioner makes a good point about denying Mass to the divorced while the Mass is served by criminals:
