The logic is both Mahoney and Law come from the crazy liberal side of the Catholic Church that adopted all things Liberal Protestant after Vatican II.
They were the ones who sucked up to Protestantism and did everything they could to emulate Protestant worship.
So I’d say they were more or less Protestant and not very Catholic.
“”They were the ones who sucked up to Protestantism and did everything they could to emulate Protestant worship””
Be careful ,dear friend. It was more a case of american Bishops,clergy etc.. who did this by not following what Vatican actually said . If you read the documents of Vatican 2 you find that the american Church went against what Vatican 2 actually said.
Remember ,there was also good influence at Vatican 2 from people like Fulton Sheen, Carol Wojtyla(Pope JP2) Cardinal Ratzinger(pope Benedict XVI) and many others.
