For the uninformed, what's the deal with Cardinal Mahoney?

For the uninformed, what's the deal with Cardinal Mahoney?

He's an idiot.

No moral courage.

No proclamation of Catholic truth.

Bad record on pederast priests.

Built a monstrosity of a cathedral that ignored all the Vatican rules on how to build churches -- obviously he's too important to take that "advice" and besides what's all that old-fashioned stuff about symbolism and glorifying God anyway?

Mahony is off in his own little world but doesn't know it yet.

Here's just one anecdote: when the State of California proposed that CA issue 3 billion dollars in bonds to fund embryonic cell stem research, Cardinal Mahony did object (albeit only mildly), as one would expect a Catholic bishop to do. However, do you know what reason Mahony gave for objecting to the proposed bonds? That they would cost too much money. That human life would be conceived and destroyed evidently didn't trouble him. (By the way, Cardinal Mahony never thinks ANYTHING is too expensive when it comes to taxpayers' dollars or building a monstrously ugly cathedral in LA.) The guy's a bum. The only bishop I know of who's worse is Bishop Robert Lynch in Florida, who backed Terri Schiavo's husband in having Terri starved and dehydrated to death.
