This looks like something out of the Twilight Zone. Turns out Cardinal Roger Mahony is retiring from the archdiocese of Los Angeles, and will be replaced by some guy from Monterrey, Mexico who looks very much like him.

Given the current state of affairs at the Catholic Church, it wouldn’t surprise me if this “new guy” is only a make believe, wax-made Mahony impersonator; someone who will take the punches next time something goes wrong. That way, as is often the case, you can always blame it on “The Mexican.”

¡Ay, nanita!
