As a student in a school that Mahoney used to often visit, before his becoming Cardinal, ever instinct in my body told me that the man before me was a politician, with every move carefully calculated for its appearance. Of course, this is a personal opinion, but he gave off an insincere vibe (unlike some other wonderful staff members) that I did not experience again until I met some California Senators and a Lieutenant Governor.

Bush may not have been a baptized Catholic, but he and his father sang the Vatican Rag. This is a new day.

Certainly Mahoney should be in jail, and after Mahoney, Levada, and all the sychophants who do their bidding. They must be shivering in their Alfani slippers.

When Governor Keating compared Mahoney and his corrupt ilk to the Mafia, it is the Mafia who should have been insulted.

May Justice for the Children be served.

BTW, Bush is not Catholic but he depended mightily on the support of conservative Catholic bishops, who helped him considerably in 2004. Donald Chaput of Denver comes to mind. Creating doubt in the minds of Catholics about the sinfulness or not of voting for Kerry affected many.

By 2008 there was a huge split among Catholics and most ignored the bishops this time.

Just knowing Bush would be out of office shortly could have been an emboldening circumstance. We will never know, but a changing political climate in the Justice Dept. can be meaningful.

Let’s not forget Mahony’s handling of rapist Oliver O’Grady. The movie, Deliver Us From Evil, shows O’Grady admitting he was offered an annuity the night before not to testify in a civil trial about what Mahony knew about his case. This occurred after his criminal conviction, so a civil contempt charge meant nothing.

I asked the DA’s office ages ago to investigate witness tampering, bribery and obstruction of justice.

May Mahony find himself in the docket under oath forced to answer questions about all Bill Lobdell mentions and much more.

Mahoney should be in prison.

And Bush isn’t Catholic, so him not being in the White House probably doesn’t have anything to do with the timing. My guess is the investigation has already been going on a long time. Our legal process is slooooooowwwwwww.
