This is where the rubber meets the road for Cardinal Adam Maida. This story from last September indicates he didn't single Granholm out, but now he must:

Over at HMS Blog:

I just spoke with Cardinal Maida's spokesman in an attempt to clarify rumours that he would not interfere in the Mercy High School Auction.

The spokesperson states, "The Cardinal believes that this is a matter best resolved by the Mercy High School administration. The issue should be taken up with the High School's board of trustees and the Sisters of Mercy. The Cardinal himself regrets that the school has chosen to take this action and regrets any confusion this action may cause."

To which I respond, "The HMS Blog regrets that Cardinal Maida is such a gutless weasel." Please call the Cardinal and let them know your displeasure. Keep the phones ringing. (313) 237-5816

Having spoken with Cardinal Maida's office, I am sure he will do absolutely nothing about Gov. Granhom or this incident. I will say prayers for Cardinal Maida to overcome his fears that verge on complicity with the enemy.
