“So what would you do with STILL CARDINAL Mahoney?”

First, I would have to know exactly what he did in detail. That would require an investigation. That’s why I believe there should be an inquisition.

Second, I do not know if he can formally be removed from the college of cardinals, but he could be removed from the clerical state.

We can’t burn anyone at the stake. I’m not saying that’s a plus either.

“A fiend who passed pedophiles around to prey on innocent children and a man your church still considers a Cardinal.”

Again, the problem is that I don’t even know if a cardinal can be removed from the college. There might be no mechanism for it - much like Jimmy Savile can’t have his knighthood (or whatever his rank was) removed because there is no mechanism for it.

“And what will you do to back up your words?”

Well, as a ‘civilian’, I can’t do anything to back up my words just like everyone else in this thread. That’s the reality of the situation. I can only leave it in the hands of God, pray, fast, and work for justice. My power and influence is limited.

“Honestly, I feel like I’m talking to aliens when I have these conversations.”

That’s probably because you have no idea of what you’re talking about and you’re trying to force a worldly answer onto a spiritual problem. I don’t think you’re having a conversation. I think you’re just babbling without any understanding.

If your child or grandchildren was raped by a priest sent to your church by a cardinal who knew about him raping children in the past, who you consider that a ‘spiritual’ problem and pray about it as opposed to calling the police? This is actually happening to children! Babbling my a$$!
