Will Cardinal Mahony defend Cardinal Levada?
Things heated up in San Francisco this week, as you probably have heard. Archbishop George Niederauer and new Cardinal (as of tomorrow) William Levada have a fight on their hands over Catholic Charities and ending adoptions by homosexuals. How will they react? And will their friend, Cardinal Mahony, speak up to defend them?
The fight began two weeks ago, when Archbishop Levada, as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, ordered the Archdiocese of San Francisco to stop handing adoptable little children over to pairs of homosexuals.
Last Monday, the Archdiocese's Maurice Healy said, "We've committed ourselves to being in sync with Church teaching." That infuriated Brian Cahill, head of Catholic Charities, who blasted Healy and said his agency's policies had not changed.
Also infuriated was San Francisco's Board of Supervisors, which adopted a blantantly anti-Catholic resolution on Wednesday. They insultingly called the Catholic Church "a foreign country," termed Catholic teaching "hateful and discriminatory," ripped Levada as "a decidedly unqualified representative of his former home city" and urged Arhbishop Niederauer to disobey Levada's command.
Now it is up to Levada and Niederauer to defend the Church, uphold Catholic teaching and save adoptive children from being handed over to homosexuals. It is also up to Cardinal Mahony to back them up firmly and loudly. Let's stay tuned.

I give up on Mahony! He'll probably be the cause of another schism and be labeled the hippie Lefevre! He better defend Church teaching and back up Levada! If not, I hope the Pope tells him to shape up or get out. or..to be nice make him cardinal of Vatican gardens.
ripped Levada as "a decidedly unqualified representative of his former home city"
Hum, sounds just like what happend to Our Lord in His own home town. Let us hope Leveda follows the example of Our Lord, Who didn't go along to get along.
