In brief: From Wire Reports:
Mahony says he was invited to Vatican
Los Angeles – Responding to protests over his attendance at the conclave in Rome to elect a new pope, Cardinal Roger Mahony told Catholic News Service last week that the Vatican told him to come to Rome and participate.
“Without my even having to inquire, the nuncio in Washington phoned me a week or so ago and said, ‘I have had word from the highest folks in the Vatican: You are to come to Rome and you are to participate in the conclave,’ ” Mahony told the news service.
The retired cardinal has been under fire for his handling of sexual abuse cases, particularly his role in hiding molestations by priests from authorities. The cover-ups were revealed with the recent release of thousands of pages of detailed court documents about the cases.
Archbishop Jose Gomez, Mahony’s successor as head of the Los Angeles Archdiocese, removed Mahony from all public duties once the court documents became public.

Iditarod under way
Mushers and their dogs took a leisurely jaunt through Anchorage on Saturday in the ceremonial start of Alaska’s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. The 1,000-mile race kicked off in a festive mood as 66 teams posed with fans and sailed their sleds 11 miles on streets covered with trucked-in snow. Each sled carried an Iditarider, a fan who won the short ride at auction. The real race starts today in Willow, 50 miles to the north. “Today is fun, with a capital F,” said smiling veteran musher Aliy Zirkle, the runner-up in last year’s race. “If you don’t have a good time on Saturday with your dogs and all these fans, you’re not in the right sport.”The winner gets a new truck and $50,400. The rest of the $600,000 purse will be split between the next 29 mushers to finish.
