The Cardinals now have the oppurtunity to make things right. Hopefully, they will take this matter seriously enough to clean house. If they come back and do nothing then they will have sealed their own fates. Let us pray that they will do some good, old-fashioned butt-kicking. Our Holy Father can not do it by himself. He needs help.

We need to write the Holy Father and beg him to sack Cardinal Mahony in particular. IMO Cardinal Mahony is the biggest fiend in a red hat.

I agree! The Cardinals do have the opportunity to make things right (and clear-up a lot of social problems at the same time) ...But based on Cardinal Mahoneys willingness to ignore the Popes previous warnings about the subjects of celebacy and ordination of women as closed subjects; seeking to create a debate about those matters; I am not hopeful they will.

The Cardinals seem to be acting like school kids going to the principles office... "OK, we got caught... but he'll forget about it by tomorrow when we're back in our own homerooms!"

OK, I've cleared my calendar. Where do I sign up?
