Mahoney will step away fairly soon. As the protestant bishops retire or die they are replaced by orthodox Catholics. Retirements are being accepted early.

Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,

Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.
3
All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not. For they say, and do not.
<>Obviously, one desires their Bishops be as holy as possible. That being said, legitimate authority does not end for one in the Apostolic Sucession due to his sin. To claim it does, opposes Jesus<>

Yes, its of paramount importance to point out this gutsy bishop's flaws and the scandals in the church. Its so important to thwart good acts.
