Cardinal Mahony of LA was attacked in front of church last summer but never told police and does not now intend to file a report:
Cardinal Mahoney told the police by telephone that he had been dressed in a sports shirt and slacks on an evening in July when a man walked toward him outside Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral downtown, asking in a threatening tone if he was the cardinal. Cardinal Mahony, 71, told the police that the man pushed him to the ground and kicked him before running away.
Only in October, at a priests’ meeting, did he announce it publicly, even though he had been
so badly beaten that he was hospitalized and it took him several weeks to recover.
I definitely question his reticence in the matter. The law was broken, and he kept it to himself?
H-m-m-m-m. Like the bishop who was badly injured by a fall in his house? Methinks there were some hijinks involved.
