In Rome, he declared, he would urge the Vatican to open discussion of a married clergy for the church, and even of ordaining women to the priesthood.

Mahoney shows his true liberal colors.

Many years ago, I went to a dinner party wher Richard Cardinal Cushing was also in attendance....he was a cousin of somebody else there.....at the time there was considerable discussion then in the media about allowing priests to marry.....it had arisen because two or three married Episcopal ministers had just been ordained as Catholic priests, and as you may be aware, they are allowed to remain married.....so the Cardinal was asked what he thought about the general idea of priests marrying.....I'll never forget, he took a large sip of wine, and looked out at us with the cherubic visage of his, and answered, or a sort..."but what would I do when they want to get divorced?"
