LOS ANGELES (AP) - A man was arrested Sunday after he handcuffed himself to Cardinal Roger Mahony's chair during a service to protest the church's handling of allegedly abusive priests.

Several thousand people were attending Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels when James Robertson walked toward the altar and handcuffed himself to the chair, police said.

Mahony, who was delivering the homily about 15 feet away, continued with the service. Robertson did not speak with Mahony.

Robertson, 58, was arrested without incident for misdemeanor investigation of disturbing a religious ceremony. He was released.

Good for him!

2. Terrific!

These arrogant turkeys are completely insulated from reality. They don't have a clue. This is one of the few ways to shake up their cushy little world a bit - embarrass them whenever they appear in public. It would take a lot of guts to do what this guy did.

3. Now That Is Just What Needed To Be Done

Good for him.
The Catholic church has looked the other way for all these years.
New Pope is worse.


Handcuff to the chair - GOOD!
