		On June 5, 2005, Cardinal Roger Mahony, Archbishop of Los Angeles offers the main altar of his Cathedral to Monophysite Armenian patriarch Karekin II to celebrate a heretical mass.
		As is known, the old Monophysite heretics from Armenia, Ethiopia, Egypt and Syria call themselves "Orthodox," creating a considerable confusion with the other "Orthodox" denominations that come from the Schism of Constantinople in the 11th century.
		The Armenian patriarch Karekin II is, therefore, a full and complete heretic, and the "mass" of his false religion is an offense to God.
