Special envoy to the pope claims he is “not able to attend”
Cardinal Roger Mahony is canceling his appearance in Pennsylvania after outcry from faithful Catholics.
William Genello, executive director of communications for the diocese of Scranton, confirmed with Church Militant that the former archbishop of Los Angeles won’t be attending the diocese’s 150th anniversary Mass.
“We were informed last week that Cdl. Mahony is unable to attend,” he told Church Militant. When pressed for reasons for the cancellation, Genello simply repeated the statement.

Church Militant also asked if there would be a replacement for Mahony, but Genello only repeated his statement, providing no further details.
