Cardinal Mahoney of all people, who equals the late Cardinal Law in the mismanagement of compromised priests in his diocese is given space at Vatican News to contradict the President of the USCCB and his successor as Archbishop of Los Angeles.
Although, His Eminence does emphasize that national conferences of bishops have no authority.
Card Mahony encourages US bishops to take the ‘pathway to constructive dialogue’
Money bytes:
Remember this document was intended primarily to go after and penalize Catholic legislators. However, the Holy See reminded us that the Bishops’ conference has no power to mandate something binding on every bishop and every diocese in the country or any country without being approved by the Holy See. The document of any kind should be at the very end of the process. That's why I am so unsettled about this document that we have before us.
But the Vatican News Reporter, who either knows or does not know the role that Cardinal Mahoney played in the sex abuse scandal in Los Angeles that rivals or exceeds what Cardinal Law did (and was asked to resign as the Archbishop of Boston) asks this question of Cardinal Mahoney. You can’t make this stuff up!:
You’ve brought up the fact that the original debate that the document sparked was definitely about the fact that it was concentrating perhaps on targeting a message to pro-choice politicians and yet Catholics in the United States and other places in the world have had to endure a lot of revelation about scandalous behaviour regarding priests and Bishops. Why haven't we heard something similar against these grave sins against communion?

Another fraudster. No wonder millions of American Catholics have walked away with "leadership" like this
No words of “wisdom” from Father K? I am losing faith in him
Mother Angelica nailed that fraud years ago.
