"Mahony took to Twitter a day after all cardinals agreed to a media blackout after concern was raised that some of them -- chiefly the Americans, who held two press briefings -- were talking too much."

I am surprised that Mahony was even allowed to go to the conclave to begin with. Too bad Pope Benedcit XVI Emertius did not elevate Archbishop Gomez to the position of Cardinal. Oh well.

Don’t let whoever ordered the media blackout to catch you Cardinal Mahony.

Maybe he’s a Twitter addict. Between him and the “curia leakers”, the “media blackout” is an epic fail.

I am surprised that Mahony is not in prison.

Mahony may still be a Cardinal, and he may still live in Los Angeles, but he is no longer the Archbishop of LA. His title is Cardinal Emeritus. He should have never gone to the conclave.

Maybe he won't be able to resist snapping and posting pictures of himself at the conclave.

Mahony:

#Conclave #Mahony LOL! It's me again!
