Pope’s high praise for Cardinal Sean O’Malley
The Archdiocese of Boston has been in a well-documented state of confusion and turmoil for many years, and recent events offer little consolation of any pending relief. For instance, in 2003, one of Cardinal Sean O’Malley’s first acts as the new Archbishop of Boston was to appoint the dissident priest, Fr. Bryan Hehir, as the president of Catholic Charities of Boston and the secretary of social services.
Despite ongoing scandals caused by Fr. Hehir, he has remained in the same position ever since. In 2009, Cardinal O’Malley, “in the strongest terms,” lashed out at pro-lifers who opposed the public funeral for staunchly pro-abortion and pro-same-sex “marriage” Senator Ted Kennedy, saying they “do irreparable damage to the communion of the Church.” In 2010, a company named after the mythical guard dog of hell, Cerberus, purchased the Caritas Christi chain of six hospitals, despite strong, vocal opposition and warnings from pro-life leaders.
Last year, Cardinal O’Malley praised a Boston pastor who later equated the Holy Family with homosexual couples.
Most recently, Cardinal O’Malley took part in a bizarre interfaith “ritual,” wherein he asked "Rev." Anne Robertson , a female Methodist “pastor,” to administer a drop of water to his forehead. This is the same woman who wrote a book in 2005 entitled God’s Top 10: Blowing the Lid Off the Commandments. In this book, she supports contraception, legalized abortion, and same-sex marriage.
