Pope's 'revenge' as LA gets Opus Dei bishop

A member of the radically-orthodox Catholic group Opus Dei has been appointed as the new Archbishop of Los Angeles.

Maybe Geeziz does love us. A self-flagellating loon spouting off to Hollywood about morality is just what we'd pray for.

Which reminds us: Last Sunday, just after the quake, the current bishop, Roger Cardinal Mahony, called a radio station* & proudly recounted how he'd been performing whatever bizarre superstitious rite they perform at his almost new cathedral, & didn't notice the rolling because the dump is on rollers, not a firm foundation, yada yada, isn't that great? He closed w/ "Happy Easter." That's all he's good for?

*What happens in L.A. after an earthquake: Radio & tee vee stations allow dullards & the common clay on the air to share their stories of where they were, how long it lasted, what it felt like, blah blah blah, until someone from the USGS gets to the office, figures out what happened, & calls in. On telebision, the great un-washed call-in stops when pictures or blurry & pixelated mobile 'phone footage trickle in. It's even stupider than the "STORMWATCH!" hysteria local broadcasting engages in when precipitation over a quarter of an inch is predicted.
