Several comments. I am glad the Cardinal resigned. His actions have scanalized the Church and do not represent the Church as a whole. That being said, I would not desire that anyone go to hell, and do not think that God desires that either. Furthermore, the fact that he made grevious mistakes does not mean that he is not a believer. By that analysis, Saint Paul and King David would be in hell since they actually killed believers and other persons. The great thing about the Christian message is that redemption is always available -- even to the most grevious sinner. Cardinal Law has much to account for, as do we all. But Christian charity demands that we not rejoice in the fall of our bretheren. Only God knows his heart, not you and certainly not me.

Fine. He still deserves jail time.

I'm sorry, when did child molesting become a non-criminal offense? By not turning these molesters into the civil authorities, Law and his ilk were nothing but co-conspiritors in such molestations. He deserves jail time.
