Sometimes, saying “I’m sorry” isn’t nearly enough. The release last week of papers revealing that church leaders in Orange County concealed, denied and enabled sexual molestation by priests for decades neither brings the matter to psychological closure nor speeds healing. Instead, it should spur some church leaders to step down, while forcing others – most notably, Cardinal Roger M. Mahony – to finally disclose the church’s complicity in the scandal.

Wow. Those are relatively tough words for Cardinal Mahoney. I figured the LATimes would love him because of his more progressive stance on a number of issues.

I tried to get the article but was told it is “unavailable” – got any more quotes from it?
