BOSTON (AP) — An official with the Catholic Church says Cardinal Bernard Law, the disgraced former archbishop of Boston, has died at 86.
Law recently had recently been hospitalized in Rome. The official asked to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to announce the death to the public.
Law was the Boston archbishop in 2002 when court documents revealed he had failed to stop priests who molested children.

Law was not a molester himself but failed to exercise his authority to deal with the evil of predatory homosexual priests. The failure to purge homosexual priests from the clergy and prevent their ordination was at the root of the problem. One wonders if Law had the necessary support to take definitive action in his archdiocese given the nature of a significant percentage of his personnel even if he had the desire to act appropriately and decently. The problem continues to exist.
I imagine that scumbag is feeling the heat now. Imagine going to the Pearly Gates and being told your name is not in the Book of Life. Off to hell with thee. And remember the little children that suffered because of you and your pedophile priests.
