Cardinal Mahony, deeply implicated in child-rape cover-up, forgives those angry at him for it.

xpost from GD



Cardinal Mahony, who is as deeply implicated in the cover-up of child rape under his authority as Boston’s Cardinal Law, writes the following on his own blog:

In the past several days, I have experienced many examples of being humiliated. In recent days, I have been confronted in various places by very unhappy people. I could understand the depth of their anger and outrage–at me, at the Church, at about injustices that swirl around us.

Thanks to God’s special grace, I simply stood there, asking God to bless and forgive them.


He is forgiving the victims of child-rape, and those who speak up for them? Words fail. Anger overwhelms me.

First, the Pope quits and gives himself immunity from prosecution, now this.

Get caught embezzling from your company? No problem. Issue a statement of forgiveness to those who are so consumed by money that they insist on counting every penny.

My Sigoth observed (edited but only a little)

This guy thinks he is being humiliated?! Has he been asked to wank some priest or been shown how to masturbate by the priest jacking him off? Has he had some holy mans finger or worse up his bum? Has he been spanked on the bare a*se by a man stinking of tobacco or wine because he was made to ejaculate by that same man of god? Has some nun closely looked at his dick to see if he is a virgin or was he ever told to give a "special kiss" to the Father's crotch because it is a special sign of favour?

If not what the Frock foes this gimp know about humiliation

She is not very fond of enablers of abuse is my Sigoth

the arrogance. I suspect he is a sociopath at the very least, but then he doesn't have to be.
