A married priesthood won't work, as the numerous but rarely reported cases in the Episcopal church proves. Indeed, since some liberal church seminaries have thirty to fifty percent gay students, one wonders where the reports are in those churches? But of course, those churches don't oppose abortion or the pc agenda.
As for Law, he is a moral weakling. "let's all get along".
This tragic failing of the Heirarchy has been going on for years and the real Problem is the way Cardinal Outlaw and His Henchmen have been handling the problem.
If one reads the reports, there are no two Dioceses in America, who have the same policy towards this Disaster.
All Dioceses handle it in Secrecy which only exascerbates the mess and creates less trust, not to mention, the lack of trust in the priesthood.
A Lay Board must be set up to handle the problem Nationwide with a common and strict policy with immediate review and immediate sanctions toward verifiable abusers.
That some diocese have no coherent policy and some states don't require reporting of abuse would be laughable if it werent so devastating to the victims.
Based on All the Empirical data available it is obvious that the Heirarchy of the Church cannot or will not handle the problem with the expertise necessary to protect the children and cure the church of the sick Priests.
As a start Law, and his complete staff,lawyers,bishops and hired supporters must go.
Look at the diocese of St. Louis and Belleville with Bishop Gregory at the helm, they seem to be doing the right thing since the early 90's.
Card Outlaw knew of the Bellville/St Louis since bishop Gregory is the President of the Conference of Bishops.
