Nevertheless, yesterday's announcement from Rome-- that Archbishop William Levada would be the new prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith-- was shocking.
Archbishop Levada stepped into the breach as temporary apostolic administrator of the Santa Rosa diocese, where he forced to deal not only with the former bishop's tawdry history of sexual misconduct, but also with profligate spending that had left the little diocese with a massive $30 million debt.
Archbishop Levada also led the prolife march on 1/22/05 in the face of the SF City Council's disapproval and the presence of many hecklers (one in particular seemed possessed).

Cardinal Roger Mahony, head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese in Los Angeles, was accused in two lawsuits yesterday of violating federal racketeering laws by protecting priests who molested children.
The lawsuits were filed in Los Angeles on behalf of two sets of brothers who claimed a priest victimized them when they were children in the 1960s and '70s.
Pope John Paul II appointed Mahony as archbishop of Los Angeles in 1985 and elevated him to cardinal in 1991.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- California police cleared the leader of the nation's largest Catholic archdiocese Thursday following allegations he sexually molested a young woman more than three decades ago.
Like many Roman Catholic leaders across the United States, Mahony has been forced in recent weeks to address the wave of sexual abuse allegations and confirmations involving clergy.
Earlier this week, the Los Angeles archdiocese, along with the Diocese of Orange County, agreed to pay $1.2 million to Lori Haigh, who filed a lawsuit alleging the Rev. John Lenihan molested and impregnated her when she was a teenager.

Gay activists have assailed a policy statement by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops last month that rejected the use of condoms as a means of fighting the spread of AIDS.
The activists were particularly angered by Mahony's statement introducing the policy paper that the "safe-sex myth" is "both a lie and a fraud." That remark provocatively reflected, however, the church hierarchy's view that condoms are not 100% reliable.
Over the weekend, four Los Angeles Roman Catholic churches were splattered with red paint by demonstrators who denounced Mahony's views as reckless.

The day after four Roman Catholic churches were spattered with red paint by gay activists angry over the church's condemnation of the use of condoms for safe sex, Archbishop Roger M. Mahony said he would not be "intimidated by threats or attacks."
Mahony, in a written statement Monday, said the acts of vandalism do not change the church's position that chastity, rather than the use of condoms, is the only "morally correct and medically secure way" to prevent the spread of AIDS.

 Los Angeles Lay Catholic Mission | December 1999 | Not "No," But "Hell, No!", by Charles A. Coulombe
An outpost of Anglo-Catholicism (which holds that Anglicanism is, with Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, an equal branch of the One Catholic Church), St. Mary's felt constrained to leave the Episcopal Church in 1976 when the national body voted to ordain women.
When Archbishop Law came to St. Mary's twice (one time celebrating Mass at their altar) the parishioners rejoiced: for nine years they had been without a bishop (a fact which caused a number to leave) and they had trusted Rome to take care of their spiritual needs.
When I joined the Catholic Church in 1987, the Masses were horribly irreverent almost everywhere I went, so I chased the Tridentine Masses on the indult circuit.

The archbishop says the cross on the seal reflects the importance of Catholic missions in Los Angeles County's early history, and to remove it, he insists, would be to deny the historical record.
