Bishops can’t be trusted, especially those like Archbishop Gomez who are members of Opus Dei (which means Work of God in Latin but Work of the Devil in plain English). [Frank] * * * After rebuke by archbishop, Cardinal Mahony takes higher profile Stripped of public duties by Archbishop Jose Gomez over mishandling of clergy sex abuse cases, Mahony has begun what some call a rehabilitation tour. Comments By Teresa Watanabe and Harriet Ryan, Los Angeles Times May 9, 2013, 5:55 p.m. When Archbishop Jose Gomez stripped his predecessor, Cardinal Roger Mahony , of public duties for mishandling clergy sex abuse cases, a church spokesman said the retired prelate’s life would remain largely the same with one exception: confirmations. No longer would Mahony preside at springtime rites in which teenagers receive the sacrament that marks full passage into the Catholic Church, the spokesman said. But three months later, Mahony is back doing confirmations. Since Easter, he has officiated at eight services, including one last week in which he anointed more than 120 youths at a Wilmington parish. Full coverage: Priest ...

http://ncronline.org/news/accountability/la-Cardinal-called-obstructionist "In 2003, with the country newly focused on the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic church, a senior U.S. church leader attempted behind the scenes to head off the investigation of the crisis by researchers at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, disparaging the institution and its researchers as inadequate. Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony, in a strongly worded letter to then-Bishop Wilton Gregory, at the time president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, complained at length about the forms that John Jay researchers produced. He described them as "designed by people who apparently have no understanding of the Roman Catholic Church, ecclesiastical culture, hierarchical structure, or the language of the Roman Catholic Church."
