	And They're Off.... By Balto v. Raniero Whispers in the Loggia April 3, 2010 http://www.whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/ UNITED STATES -- Archbishop Edwin F. O'Brien, Archbishop of Baltimore, issued the following statement in response to Father Raniero Cantalamessa's Good Friday comments (fulltext) at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome: Father Cantalamessa's words on Good Friday, somehow linking the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandal with anti-Semitism, were unfortunate and reprehensible. They pose harm to Catholic-Jewish relations in Baltimore and around the world and I personally denounce them. Rightly upset and embarrassed as we are by the scandal we are enduring as Catholics, as frustrated as we are by the sometimes unfair coverage in certain elements of the press, nothing justifies this insensitive, harmful and regrettable comparison.
