Did Geoghan trespass against you? Then by all means forgive him.
But you have no right or authority to forgive him of trespasses he committed against others.
This incident is about the failure of the criminal justice system--not a morality contest to see who can most magnanimously and posthumously forgive Geoghan of the sexual abuses he committed against 150 young boys.
For the sake of his soul we may hope that he tried to find forgiveness. But that's about it.
I never claimed that right. I merely make the point that Geoghan was murdered in cold blood and that murder is always a crime and never justice. Just as I have no right to forgive for what he did to others, nobody has the right to commit cold blooded murder...and nobody should cheer such a crime as justice.
