Fork over the files, please
THE LOS ANGELES TIMES reports ...
The California Supreme Court on Wednesday let stand a court order forcing Cardinal Roger M. Mahony to give authorities the confidential files of two former priests accused of child molestation.
Mahony has fought for three years to quash grand jury subpoenas on the grounds that opening the files would violate the church's constitutional right of religious freedom.
"This is an important milestone in addressing the issue of clerical sexual abuse," Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley said of the Supreme Court's action. "I look forward to immediate access to files we subpoenaed from the Los Angeles Archdiocese."

Let it begin....Since the Church cannot or will not police its own and the criminals continue with impunity, let some of the rot be dug out by the civil authorities.
May the Cardinal be forced to resign; he has taken enough souls down...
Unfortunately, Mahoney and his cronies have had a lot of time to "clean up" the files, so to speak. Anyone want to bet that a large number of files have been "misplaced"?
I am not for covering up for these perverts, but I bet you a dollar that Mahoney gives up every priest and bishop he can think of just to keep himself out of trouble.
Let the purging begin and may the Lord bless the LA Archdiocese with many holy Priests and a Great and Holy Bishop.
