In case you missed it, this past Saturday, February 27, was Cardinal Mahony's 74th birthday. The event has provided fresh impetus for those counting the days to the date when the controversial "progressive" (notoriously liberal) Cardinal will retire. Cardinal Mahony has been at the helm of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles - the nation's largest diocese - for nearly 25 years. To the delight of many, he has now officially entered his last year before the mandatory retirement age of 75. A prayer seeking divine assistance in the selection of his successor was recently issued by the archdiocese.
