Cardinal Mahony, deeply implicated in child-rape cover-up, forgives those angry at him for it. [View all]

xpost from GD



Cardinal Mahony, who is as deeply implicated in the cover-up of child rape under his authority as Boston’s Cardinal Law, writes the following on his own blog:

In the past several days, I have experienced many examples of being humiliated. In recent days, I have been confronted in various places by very unhappy people. I could understand the depth of their anger and outrage–at me, at the Church, at about injustices that swirl around us.

Thanks to God’s special grace, I simply stood there, asking God to bless and forgive them.


He is forgiving the victims of child-rape, and those who speak up for them? Words fail. Anger overwhelms me.

First, the Pope quits and gives himself immunity from prosecution, now this.
