Although I don't know where he is, Mahoney is still alive -- he turned his position over to a hispanic bishop. Believe that was in the wake of the scandal where he covered up for all those priests that abused children and cost the church serious $$$ in settlements.

PS: Thank you for your service.

I’ll be damned. I thought he had died.

He was a total POS as far as I’m concerned.

That “Hispanic bishop” (Archbishop Gomez of LA) is actually very good and very conservative. He was passed over for cardinal, in fact, because he didn’t toe the Mahony/Francis line. Believe me, he’s not the one Mahony would have picked.

The big question in my mind is why Mahony, just shy of 80 (non-voting age), somebody who bankrupted his diocese because of his protection of homosexual youth-abusing clergy (and was spared revelation of his own involvement because he was a leftist and the press protected him), and somebody who destroyed respect for Catholicism in Los Angeles, is swanning around Rome and appears to be a bosom buddy of PF.
