Mahony honors Opus Dei founder

Now this is a strange one. One can scarcely imagine two greater opposites: Josemaria, the founder of Opus Dei and canonized saint and Roger Mahony who most assuredly will never even make it to "venerable." And yet the Cardinal celebrated a Mass yesterday at his Cathedral in honor of the Spanish priest who is best known for his little book of inspirational sayings, The Way.

Surprisingly enough, this is the second or possibly third time that such a Mass for the founder of Opus Dei has been celebrated at the Cathedral.

If any readers of L.A. Catholic were present at this Mass, we would be grateful to hear from you.
