	Some Plaintiffs Still Not Accepting Apology from Mahony Associated Press, carried in KOLD July 16, 2007 http://www.kold.com/Global/story.asp?S=6795692 Los Angeles — Some of the plaintiffs who stand to see money from a $660 million settlement from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles aren't ready to accept an apology from the head of the archdiocese. One man who held up a photo of himself as a young boy with the priest he says abused him says yesterday's apology from Cardinal Roger Mahony didn't ring true. He also said the settlement only saved the church from having to face questions before a jury. Another said he hoped that the massive payout would keep him and others from being referred to as "an 'alleged' victim." Mahony apologized yesterday to anyone who had been abused, saying it "should not have happened and should not ever happen again." A judge today approved the settlement — by far the biggest one from the church abuse cases.
