I was just watching a bit of the Los Angeles special mass ongoing. Pity that Cardinal Mahoney does not enjoy the same sort of good will. I'm not Catholic, so maybe his flock adores him. But the rest of us aren't impressed. That cathedral where he's conducting mass is referred to as the "Taj Mahoney."
I like that CNN has Rome's local time showing at all times. It's really handy.
In my Hymnal, Hymn 666 is:
Out of the deep I call
to thee, O Lord, to thee.
before thy throne of grace I fall;
be merciful to me.
Out of the deep I cry,
the woeful deep of sin,
of evil done in days gone by,
of evil now within;
Out of the deep of fear
and dread of coming shame;
all night till morning watch is near
I plead the precious Name.
Lord, there is mercy now,
as ever was, with thee.
before thy throne of grace I bow;
be merciful to me.
Words: Henry Williams Baker, 1868
Music: St. Bride
Congrats on getting post 666!
>> Cardinal Mahoney<<
The idea that Mahoney's flock adores him is PR only. The conservatives aren't happy with him at all.

Well, when you have a Cardinal that drains the parishes in the diocese of their money for years to build himself a Cathedral, you have ill-will.
I have never seen images of that Cathedral "full", save for the LAFD firefighter memorial....Midnight Mass and Easter were both half full.
