God!...I’m so hard!
Mother Angelica took Mahony to task awhile ago. Today, except for Hispanics, most area Catholics don’t regard him as their archbishop. He should have been defrocked ages ago. He has disgraced traditional Catholic architecture and liturgy.
Mother M. Angelica, head of the E Word Television Network, was forced by him to issue an apology when Mahony reported her to Rome. Mother Angelica had suggested he denied the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and called on members of his archdiocese to disobey him.
Despite the apology, Mother Angelica continued her critique of Mahony’s pastoral letter on the liturgy, referring to it as “fuzzy” and “confusing.”
In the eyes of many, Mahony’s appointment to the LA Archdiocese was one of JPII’s biggest mistakes.
