John Doe 1001 reveals his identity
LOS ANGELES (ChurchMilitant.com) - John Doe 1001 revealed his identity at a media briefing on Thursday to hold Cdl. Roger Mahony accountable for covering up a homosexual pedophile priest and to encourage other victims to come forward.
Represented by Jeff Anderson & Associates, Alberto Sanchez (John Doe 1001) came forward to hold the archdiocese of Los Angeles accountable ― and Mahony in particular ― for its cover-up of serial abuser Fr. Michael Stephen Baker, to encourage other victims to come forward and to protect other children, especially since Baker is no longer in prison.
"Cardinal Roger Mahony was complicit because he knew Fr. Michael was a sexual predator long before I was assaulted by Fr. Michael," said Sanchez.
"My hope is that others seeing this will find the courage to come forward and speak up in an attempt to reclaim the lost trust and [their] dignity," he added.
Mike Reck, a trial attorney for Jeff Anderson & Associates, spoke at the briefing.
"This lawsuit is one of vital, public necessity, and public need which seeks to remedy a dangerous condition that has been, and is present, in the archdiocese of Los Angeles," he said.
"This lawsuit will uncover and expose the extent of this conspiracy and cover-up in this archdiocese that reaches to the highest levels of the archdiocese ― even directly to Cdl. Roger Mahony," added Reck.
Around 1986, he told Mahony that he had sexually abused children. Mahony sent Baker for some therapy and then returned him to ministry soon thereafter.

“...even directly to Cdl. Roger Mahony.”
Yes, it is a complicated situation at the LA Archdiocese. Yes, the article is old news
It was proven in 2013 and six years ago that Mahony is directly responsible. As a result, $650 million are gone to lawyers and the current Archbishop is powerless to do anything. Why? Because Mahony currently breaks canon law and attends public liturgies in vestments.

“No one can serve two masters” (Matt 6: 24) Mahony serves the wrong master and is proud of it.
The Lord wants us to serve Him and we should.
