>>> The appointment was described as the Pope’s revenge on Hollywood for filming The Da Vinci Code.
Described by who ? Tom Hanks ? Sounds more to me like somebody is preemptively trying to poison the well.
On the other hand if the Pope’s appointments actually are more concerned about “revenge” then theology, failure is preordained.
more likely Mother Angelica’s revenge...Mahoney tried to remove her for criticizing her liberal theology, and had the Vatican “examine” her convent for irregularities because she dared to point out errors in one of his diocese teaching documents.
and of course, the real problem is all those abuse cases that Mahoney has been sitting on and blocking for years will now be investigated.... The press will figure out how to spin that against the Pope and gomez, not Mahoney of course...
