>>I heard about Law performing a celebrated mass.<<

Not sure what you are trying to say here: did you mean "concelebrated?" Or are you talking about the novendiales series in Rome?

>>This is the same man that covered up all the pedophile priests by shifting them to different churches while knowing that these priests would keep molesting others.<<

This is ONE OF THE SAME MEN. He made quite a name for himself in Boston, though.

>>Yet, Law was recalled to Rome by the pope to protect Law from all the civil lawsuits filed against him and the Catholic Church.<<

Law was recalled to Rome for undisclosed reasons, too, it would seem. Why was he provided with such a prestigious post? Why was he awarded a generous salary and a cushy apartment while his abandoned Boston has to close down parishes to pay off the lawsuits?

The Archpriest of a Roman basilica doesn't get a generous salary. It's a retirement post. And though it's prestigious by comparison to the way most priests live, it isn't by comparison to his last job. Even if people outside the Vatican don't get it, those on the inside understand that Law's no longer a player. From being the metropolitan archbishop of one of the richest and most influential dioceses in the world, he's been reduced to a glorified parish pastor. He's come down in the world, even if the world doesn't see it.

Yes, he does have a swell apartment. I suspect I've seen it (while it was inhabited by a prelate who's since passed away), and it's better than he deserves.
