Catholic ping!
Translation: I am a pagan claiming to be Catholic because there are so many Catholics (or maybe pagans claiming to be Catholic) in New York. I cannot admit I am a pagan any more than my father Mario could or my Uncle Teddy could because I want to be re-elected not rejected.
Well, he also gave judas a very prominent place among his disciples, so I guess the church ought to do that, too. In fact, Christ’s example clearly teaches that fully 1/12 of the apostles were traitors. A diversity commission must be appointed to ensure the church has kept Jesus’ standard in appointing traitors.
Wow, that is some bad theology, Christ said it would have been better if Judas had not been born, and Paul taught about taking the Communion Cup unworthily, I could not imagine a more unworthy recipient that Judas when he had betraying Christ in his heart.
Bad theology is ONLY what we have come to expect from Mahoney. FEB 28 he was OUT of LA Archdiocese. It wasn’t a day too soon.

Actually, it is pretty sound. Consider the theological implications of a priest denying “a select” group of people the Eucharist at mass. That would be de facto violation of the secrecy of confession.
There is a huge difference between personal sins that no one is aware of and the sins that are printed in the tabloids. Because the ones in print are public, a public response is required.
BOY I am so glad that Roger Mahoney is no longer head of LA Cathoic church OH BOY he got out just in time

No he didn't. If one views the synoptic Gospels in light of the book of John it becomes clear that Judas left the other 12 in the upper room before Jesus engaged in the "this is my body" ritual. "and then it was night"
Mahoney probably hasn’t read his Bible in years.
I find that only John’s Gospel explicitly records that Judas departed, but John does not record the initiation of the Blessed Sacrament. The other three Gospel writers describe the “this is my body” ritual, but make no mention of Judas’ departure, either prior to or after same.
????????
Just what was Judas Iscariot’s position on abortion?
Mahoney is, at best, a sophist, at worse a heretic. Or just plain dumb. Hasn’t he read the Bible?
At the time of the Last Supper, whether he left early or not, Judas had not yet committed the act of betrayal. Right up until he met Jesus in Gethsemane, he had the opportunity to do it or not.
God does not act like the police in Minority Report.
Both Matthew and Mark have the incident where Jesus identifies his betrayer as the “one who dips his bread in the dish with him” occuring before the last supper ritual. (Luke is unclear). John makes it clear that Judas left “immediately” after this incident. Thus, assuming Matthew and Mark are telling the story in chronological order, Judas did not receive last supper/first communion. Granted, you can never be 100% certain a bible event is being relayed in chronological order but here the narrative appears to follow a linear timeline and that is the more reasonable position to take. It’s certainly more reasonable than the Cardinal’s position, which I don’t think scripture supports at all.
LOL! Exactly!
So does that mean that Cuomo is the equivalent of Judas? Many bishops also betray Christ with a kiss.
Thanks for pointing out. All very interesting. I do not know if you know Mother Angelica had a big problem with this Cardinal in the Past. Thanks for sharing.
