Retired L.A. Archdiocese Cardinal Roger Mahony (L) walks with his then-successor, Jose Gomez, on April 6, 2010 in Los Angeles.
Amid the more than 12,000 pages of priest abuse files released by the Los Angeles Roman Catholic Archdiocese last week, you find one name over and over: Cardinal Roger Mahony. In many of the documents, the man who led the nation's largest archdiocese for more than two decades before retiring in 2011 repeatedly acknowledges abuse -- but he never alerted law enforcement. Archbishop Jose Gomez has rebuked Mahony and removed him from his duties. But many say it's little punishment for the once-powerful cardinal. Reporter: Frank Stoltze
