Cardinal Mahony is in hospital being treated for a blood clot in his lung.

If you are a praying person, please say a prayer for Roger Mahony, and if you are Catholic please say The Chaplet of Divine Mercy on his behalf. If you are not familiar with the Chaplet, the link will take you to some information about the devotion as well as how to pray the Chaplet.

As for praying for Roger Mahoney, I'm afraid not. I just saw him interviewed live by Rita on Fox News last nite and

was shocked at his evading her direct question as to whether homosexuals should be ordained into the

priesthood. A disgusting, politically correct walk-around answer to her question four times before she finally nailed him to

respond. His answer? "We are looking for chaste men, hetersexual or homosexual doesn't really matter, who are

called into a life of service to God." Made me gag, and I'm not even a Catholic.

I am, however, a Bible-believing Christian saved by grace, who was victimized from the age of 9 to 17 by a Protestant

pastor (associate to my own father, the senior Pastor), who molested and raped me repeated under

the guise of a loving, trusting relationship. This happened day after day, year after year right in front of

people...adults who told me years later they knew something wasn't right about my relationship with him and his wife.

Catholic priests don't have a corner on sin and evil when it comes to hurting children. Plenty of Protestant "God-

fearing" ministers who know exactly who the needy ones are, who are patient and take their time in gaining trust,

who know which parents aren't paying attention, and who will wait until heads are turned, to pounce down on their prey.

Prayers for Roger Mahoney?? Nope. Don't think so. He's as sick as the rest from this girl's perspective. If he's

willing to call perversion equal with God-ordained male/female desires, he'd also easily turn his back on evil

behavior even knowing that the weak are being violated by the powerful. He's probably got a lot of practice.

Thankfully, I've had gracious, compassionate influences along the way who helped me find MY way through the despair

that years of childhood sexual abuse brings. God bless those who see, and hear, and acknowledge, and

reach out, and rescue the dying and the hopeless.

That's all....
