STOCKTON (CA)
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
Posted by David Clohessy on April 17, 2012
Cardinal Roger Mahony and his former second-in-command are refusing to show up for a clergy sex abuse and cover up trial happening now in Stockton.
Mahony and his former vicar general, now-retired Msgr. James Cain, have been subpoenaed to appear as witnesses in a civil trial. Mahony now claims he’s traveling to Rome. Cain was to appear last week, but for eight weeks, he has refused (and is still refusing) to produce a doctor’s note excusing him.
Mahony was Bishop of Stockton from 1980-1985. Cain was likely Mahony’s right hand man there for at least five years.
Late yesterday, Manly filed an order to show cause as to why Mahony shouldn’t be found in contempt.
