This is only an editorial in the Pasadena paper, and I can find nothing else on the story, but there’s controversy in Pasadena over the tranfer of a priest

Still, it is answers, that’s what the public is looking for in the situation between the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the Rev. Chris Cunningham, the now ex-pastor of St. Louise de Marillac Catholic Church in Covina.

Father Chris was removed from the church by Cardinal Roger Mahony, setting off waves of protests from loyal parishioners who spoke of him as an authentic, caring priest who helped breathe new life into the congregation by drawing as many as 1,000 new youths and their families into the church of 5,000 families.

The parishioners say they will mail 10,000 letters to Mahony and continue their protest all the way to the Pope. Such public displays of outrage more than hint at a parish wounded by a move from headquarters, in this case by Mahony, whom they blame for robbing them of their beloved pastor without providing a reason.

The archdiocese released a statement, saying Father Chris’s removal is not due to any allegation of sexual impropriety, and it is not retribution from his calling out Mahony in a public meeting to face allegations against the cardinal of sexual misconduct.

More to the story, etc…I just wonder what it is.
