Lawsuit Alleges Cardinal Roger Mahony Covered-Up Molestation Claim

• Also important to note when you are accusing someone of a crime without access to documents is that ambulance-chaser turned "clergy abuse specialist" Ray Boucher first went to the State legislature to have the Statue of Limitations on molestation cases increased from fifteen to thirty years, then worked for the big payday on behalf of the plaintiffs, who won a million each. And of course, the Archdiocese has already paid $600 million--three times the cost of the new Cathedral--in claims. Is the anonymous victim upset to have missed out on the big payday?

• It's sad but many people reading this headline don't miss a beat as they continue on to the next article. Like many bishops in the United States Mahony has never been held accountable for the crimes he has committed. And the church? It continues to bleed credibility and moral authority on a myriad of issues. _____ HOLDING CLERGY AND CHURCH LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE THE LAW Professor Marci Hamilton and Sister Maureen Paul Turlish on NPR's Radio Times on WHYY in Philadelphia, April 12, 2010 http://whyy.org/cms/radiotimes/2010/04/12/holding-clergy-and-church-leaders-legally-accountable-for-child-abuse/ Sister Maureen Paul Turlish Victims' Advocate New Castle, Delaware maureenpaulturlish@yahoo.com

• Mahony is guilty of many things but especially when it comes to Michael Baker. Baker personally told Mahony that he had sexually abused kids and Mahony continued to transfer him to other parishes to not only protect his own ass but to not tarnish the reputation of the church. And Tod Tamberg's job is to lie on behalf of Mahony and kiss his ass every chance he gets.
