Cardinal Roger Mahony assaulted near L.A.'s cathedral
Cardinal Roger Mahony was physically assaulted by a man enraged by the Catholic Church's sexual-abuse scandal within days of a record settlement with hundreds of victims. The attack occurred in July near Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral in downtown Los Angeles. It took the cardinal about a month to heal. The cardinal was dropping off letters at a mailbox when he was assaulted. The news comes as the $660 million settlement with victims began being paid out Monday, with more than $500 million in checks going out in the mail. The settlement with 508 alleged victims was approved by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge July 16.

He never would have been assaulted If he were where he belongs.
In prison.

Roger "Phoney" Mahoney is at it again. If you believe this nonsense, I have ocean front property in Death Valley to sell you. We are now in the age of telling fictional stories to further personal causes. Think about it with every story you read.
