Cardinal Roger Mahony removed from public life by LA Archbishop Gomez
Action taken in response to ‘evil’ Church attempts to police investigations
The paper also reports that Cardinal Mahony and Bishop Curry are still able to celebrate Mass and other religious duties.
Immigrant rights campaigner Cardinal Mahony can no longer speak publicly.
The report adds that Archbishop Gomez’s move to discipline his predecessor and to accept the resignation of Bishop Curry was unexpected and unusual.
The paper says that it has not been the custom of bishops to use disciplinary measures against one another or even to issue any public criticism.
Campaigners for abuse victims had mixed reactions on Thursday to the actions taken by Archbishop Gomez.
David Clohessy, national director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, told the LA Times: “Bishop Curry’s resignation is a small step in the right direction.
“But the sanctions against Cardinal Mahony amount to little more than hand-slapping and are a nearly meaningless gesture.”
