You appparently have more information than the Massachusetts Attorney General and the five DA's of the 5 counties which comprise the Archdiocese of Boston.

I didn't say that Law's pastoral failure was comparable to, say, fumbling the CCD curriculum. It was either a crime, or it was a pastoral failure involving grave errors of judgment. The former was ruled out by criminal investigation; so I conclude it was the latter. And because of this grave<;b> failure, his pastoral role was rightly ended.

If you are really convinced there was crime on his part, despite aggressive, repeated law-enforcement investigations which found none, you don't need to convince me; you need to take it up with the DA's.

In any event, there were not grounds in Canon Law for excommunicatios. That's an entirely different thing, and it's not my field of competence, nor, apparently, yours either.

That's it, I'm through.

How many times do I have to say criminal charges against law are irrelevant?

I still think it is a travesty that the Church associates with him at all.

Yes, we are done.
