If he was reporting to Peter or Paul, either of them would have called for Satan himself to come take them. For that matter, he’s exactly what Jesus was referring to being cast into deep waters with a millstone tied to the neck.

Problem is that the church has lost the power of faith. The little tiny bit yet strong enough to move mountains, perform miracles and yes even strike down someone or something in wrath. But to do that also means having faith and priorities in order. Maybe the church will regain that faith once they begin excommunicating the unbelievers as proscribed by the scriptures. Until then they will get dogged by scandals.

If a living Pope meets the Son of Man who bows to whom?

This guy needs to be removed for his pathetic understanding of the Bible if nothing else.

I think he already has been removed. The current archbishop of Los Angeles is a guy named Jose Gomez. Part of the reason why Mahony is back in the news is because his successor, Gomez, called him out about it after releasing a bunch of documents earlier this month going back to the ’80s about Mahony’s molester-shuffling.

Wow, this election is getting exciting. I wonder what faction Mahony backs.

he added. “Jesus was painted with the same brush as the two thieves crucified with him.”

If Jesus had spent decades aiding and covering for the thieves, he would deserve the same brushwork.

IF Mahony had any shame, he would JUST SHUT UP!!

Dante had a Pope or two in Hell. I suspect Mahony will go join them.

Mahony can’t even get his Bible veres stright. One thief mocked Jesus, the other went with him to paradise. Mahony says he belongs with the thieves, but it can’t be both, and he doesn’t mention which one.

Everyone of these pedophile-enabling aholes should be in jail — for life.

I note that Mahoney is also the biggest fan and supporter of illegal aliens in LA.

“Laws? What laws? We don’t need no stinkin’ laws!”

A pox on all of them.

noted that voting is an obligation under church law and that other “less-than-admirable” figures have attended for more than a millennium.

“If people are looking for a perfect, sinless electorate to choose religious leadership, they should look somewhere else,” Weigel said.

Wait. I just heard that two days ago re. Hagel—”he’s the best we are going to get.” 21st century, humanity really is getting better.

Indeed.

A guy who actively helped criminals escape justice for years now trys calling himself a scapegoat. The audacity is blinding.

“This scandal is putting us, the clergy and the church, where we belong — with the excluded ones,” he added. “Jesus was painted with the same brush as the two thieves crucified with him.”

A guy who shielded pedophiles is just like Jesus?

This guy needs to be removed for his pathetic understanding of the Bible if nothing else.
