Tough Days for Roger Mahony

Kevin Eckstrom

It ain’t easy these days for LA’s Cardinal Roger Mahony.

First, Mahony tells priests that he was assaulted-beaten, it sounds like-by a man who were angry over his handling of the clergy sex abuse scandal. Mahony has declined to press charges and would prefer the whole matter go away.

Now comes word from the LA Times that Mahony has sought a restraining order against a man who’s been making threats againt him and other church staff.


No word if the assailant in the first case and the man in the second are one in the same.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
