Many of us have wondered aloud what this creature was receiving in return for its apostasy. A judgeship? Sounds reasonable. I hope that the apostate creature Kmiec enjoys its worldly status for its remaining days on earth. It will answer to the Supreme Judge at the end of them, and it would not be unreasonable to speculate that things will not go well for the apostate with that Jurist.
