10,000 signatures are asking Cardinal Mahony not participate in the conclave because of the abuse scandals that happened under his watch.
Cardinal Roger Mahony from Los Angeles intends to help select a new pope in Rome despite calls from some critics that he withdraw from the process in the wake of revelations about his actions in the priest sex-abuse scandal.
The day Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation almost two weeks ago, Mahony wrote on his blog that he looked forward to participating in the conclave of cardinals in Rome to elect Benedict’s successor.
That stance elicited some criticism given that last month the Los Angeles Archdiocese stripped Mahony, its former archbishop, of his public duties after it was revealed that he plotted to conceal child molestation by priests.
But Mahony indicated via Twitter on Friday that he still would be part of the sequestered papal selection process.
He tweeted: “Just a few short hours before my departure for Rome. Will be tweeting often from Rome, except during the actual Conclave itself. Prayers!”
On Saturday, a group called Catholics United delivered a petition with nearly 10,000 signatures asking that Mahony not participate in the conclave because of the abuse scandals that happened under his watch, said Chris Pumpelly, spokesman for Catholics United.

My comment:
The Roman Catholic Church is a nest of vipers, a religious assembly of the wicked. It is 1.700 years since this religious institutions was formed in the pagan city of Rome. Its foundation is built on sand, and it will burn on the day of judgement.
The Roman Empire introduced Christendom as state religion around 315.A.D. The foundation was built on a gross compromise, that all the “gods” of the Roman religion would be incorporated in the “New faith”.
The Chair of Jupiter was renamed the “Chair of St. Peter”.
The highest priest of the pagan Roman religion, the Pontifex Maximus, was appointed the first Pope, and claimed to be the successor of the Jewish Apostle Peter.
Mythological pagan figures were renamed, and introduced as “saints”. Pagan goddesses changed colors and and became “madonna’s”, thousands of copies of the Queen of Heaven. Everything Jewish was banned, and a new set of laws enforced up on the “Church”
The Roman Catholic religion is founded on lies and religious fraud. During the ages, it was gone from bad to worse. A lie that has been told a million times, is still a lie. Even when lies are introduced as truth and taught in Catholic seminaries and Jesuit schools, it is still nothing but lies.
The fruits of the Vatican priesthood are obvious. Sodomy, pedophilia, corruption, wickedness, sexual crimes and blasphemy.
