You must begin to realize that many ordinary people will never understand why the Catholic people put up with a man like Cardinal Law skirting rules and endangering children. There is no excuse at all why Cardinal Law covered over and used this priest in another parish. He should resign ASAP. I was educated in Catholic schools in Massahusetts. I am sickened by this assault on the family. It is time for good men and women to step up and say enough. They should tell Rome that anyone hiding and covering for child mosestors should resign. Every single one of them. Gone.
I don't know if you read
THIS story in today's Boston Herald about another Boston related story.
These type of stories will just "not end" in Boston. New stories seem to come up every few months. It seems like the people of Boston cannot get a break of more than a couple of months before some story of past abuse surfaces. This type of thing has been regularly making the news in Boston for the last 2 decades. These are not stories the Boston Globe is "making up". I grew up around here, have a friend who lived 3 houses away from Father Geoghan, and although I don't have any friends who were actually "molested" by priests, I have more than a few who were approached, or suggestively touched on one occasion by priests when they were young, but all of them knew enough to tell the priest to get away from them.

I maintain that it still doesn't negate the doctrine founded by Christ.
Many U.S. bishops mirror cultural pagans, like Cardinal Law and the bishop whose diocese includes Ogdensburg New York. You can tell they aren't following tru Catholic doctrine because of their abominable failure to rid this country of abortion.
Certain bishops want to win this on the cheap. They want to be liked bt the left. They need to go back and read the prophets of the Old Testament and note the consistency with which they were persecuted and even martyred. Jesus said, 'If they persecute me, they will persecute you.' Well, they're not persecuting the bishops because the bishops have been very careful to avoid any behavior that invites persecution.
Yes...we need reform. Here is how you can help---pray for us. The Catholic church is far from being the only imperfect entity in Judeo-Christianity. Also--I can't and won't quit pointing out the agenda of certain posters at this forum.
