Man Interrupts Service, Arrested by Police
A man who handcuffed himself to Cardinal Roger Mahony’s chair during services today at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels was later arrested by police…
The incident occurred as about 3,000 people attended Mass this morning at the downtown cathedral. An estimated 200 demonstrators were outside the cathedral at the time to protest what they say is Mahony’s continuing cover-up of sex abuse crimes in the church.
This morning’s demonstration outside the cathedral was organized by the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP.
Tamberg said the man is a “very angry, angry” member of SNAP.
“very angry, angry member of SNAP” sounds redundant to me.
Mahony’s lucky the guy didn’t wrap his hand cuffs around his neck.
