	Grand-Jury Probe Raises New Risks for Cardinal Mahony Catholic Culture February 2, 2009 http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=1844 Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles, who has already weathered a criminal investigation and a series of civil lawsuits, could face new legal dangers in the grand-jury reported last week, because the federal prosecutor heading the new investigation has broader powers than the local officials previously involved, the Wall Street Journal notes. A spokesman for the Los Angeles archdiocese insists that the cardinal has no reason to fear the probe of his handling of sex-abuse cases, saying: "We have been unable to even hypothesize a crime that might have been committed in the handling of these problems."
