It came out in the news today that Cardinal Mahoney, of Los Angeles, was attacked back in July.  It appears that someone who was upset about the abuse scandal (and who isn’t?) reccognized the Cardinal on his way to a mailbox and attacked him.

The Daily Breeze has the story here.

To be completely honest, I wasn’t surprised by this news.  When my husband and I were seriously searching for a church, just about the only place we ruled out were the Roman Catholic churches.  Not because we disagreed with their theology or style of worship, but because I knew I’d want children someday and refused to raise them  in fear of the priesthood.

It makes me so sick just to think about.   I’m certainly not advocating violence, but I think Mahoney has much more coming to him–even if it isn’t in this life.
