— Los Angeles Cardinal Archbishop Roger Mahoney received the Voice of the Voiceless Award in El Paso Saturday, but the event did not come without controversy.

"We feel it is totally inappropriate for a complicit bishop who has aided and abetted thousands of child sex crimes and continues to do so today," Mary Grant with the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests said.

Mahoney faces hundreds of civil lawsuits in Los Angeles County, and said he recognizes the tension regarding the sexual abuse of children.

"The leaders of this church and country have taken it extremely serious, and have developed many plans and programs that make sure that everyone in the church, especially children and young people, are safe," Mahoney said.
