  1. After rebuke by archbishop, Cardinal Mahony takes higher profile

    When Archbishop Jose Gomez stripped his predecessor, Cardinal Roger Mahony, of public duties for mishandling clergy sex abuse cases, a church spokesman said the retired prelate's life would remain largely the same with one exception: confirmations.

  7. The Catholic Church and Argentina

    Very few Argentines were on hand for the proceedings, for the white smoke followed by the traditional proclamation, Habemus papam — "We have a pope."

    In nearly eight years as pope, Benedict XVI embraced a traditionalist &mdash; and to many critics, authoritarian &mdash; view of both the papacy and of church teaching. So it's ironic that he will be remembered for his revolutionary decision to relinquish the Chair of St. Peter rather than die in office, the first such abdication in nearly 600 years.
