Disgraced Australian Bishop Geoffrey Robinson Speaks in the Archdiocese of Washington

Last night, Australian Bishop Geoffrey Robinson spoke to Washington, DC area affiliates of Voice of the Faithful, a dissident group, at the National 4-H Youth Center, as this entry in the parish bulletin of St. John's, Silver Spring states (thanks to Archdiocese of Washington Catholic)

However, we also learned yesterday (thanks to the American Papist and CNA) that Cardinal Mahony, of Los Angeles, has written to Bishop Robinson asking him not to speak in his diocese and invoked Canon 763 and denied him permission to speak in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

No action was taken by Archbishop Wuerl prior to Bishop Robinson's speech to the faithful of Washington, DC.
