American priest Cardinal Roger Mahony, who was charged with hiding the scandal for abuse of sexual sexual abuse of children, was chosen to participate in the sea of the coffin of Pope Francis on Friday and preparing his funeral on Friday.
Mahony, 89, who is retired by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, is one of the nine cardinals and dozens of other clergy, which on Saturday morning on the Square of St. Peter released as a word that was chosen to play a festive role.
According to reports, Mahony was deprived of his administrative and public duties in January 2013. But now it will help to supervise the Pope’s funeral in Rome after the funeral, NyP added.
Anne Barrett Doyle in the commentary on the development, a member of the bishop’s group for responsibility, said, as NYP quoted: “Shame for participating in the public ritual for Pope Francis and Hena at the Cardinal College for allowing him to.”
However, the Vatican spokesman said on Thursday that Mahony was selected on the basis of his seniority as a cardinal, which justifies his choice.
O Mahony:
Mahony led La Archdiocese for 25 years and in 2011 he was alleviated by the public duties of Archbishop Jose Gomez. He was relieved after thousands of intimate church ensembles showed that he worked behind the scenes to protect many pedophile priests and protect the church from the scandal.
On Thursday night, in his statement, the diocese of NYP said, “Cardinal was always in good condition and no longer had administrative duties like the Archbishop since he retired.”
Mahony’s previous files:
Among Mahony’s ensembles there was an old case where he now held the defrocked priest Michael Baker in circulation after confessing in 1986 in 1986 to bother two boys in nearly seven years. Then Mahony sent the priest to psychological treatment. Baker was advised not to spend time with minors, showing files.
Until 2000, Baker was not removed from the ministry from the ministry, despite several documented cases where he was alone with the boys. Later he was convicted of harassment of children in 2007.
In 2007, the Archdiocese only settled more than 500 litigation over the abuse of clergy for a record $ 660 million.
Meanwhile, Mahony has repeatedly apologized for his incorrect treatment and at that time stated that Catholic officials did not understand how to manage suspicion of abuse.
