Rather than uphold Church teaching, he permitted CTA to reform under the name of VOTF, and then resigned forcing many Church closings.

I'm in Boston, and I think Law's situation is more complicated. He came into a real mess in 1984, and the AG's report shows that reported incidents of abuse declined precipitously from then; in fact, the report admitted grudgingly that, at the time of the report, they couldn't find any evidence of ongoing abuse. I could criticize (and have) many aspects of his methods, though my own feeling is that Bishop McCormack in particular was more culpable. (I pinged SuziQ and american colleen because I think they know more about it than I.)

It does seem clear now that VOTF is indeed CTA under "new (snicker) management" -- but that's not how they advertised themselves. OK, they're liars. In any case, they surely never sought anyone's permission!

More than I intended to say. I really only asked because I didn't recall any "writings" of Cardinal Law.

(P.S. I do enjoy and appreciate your posts!)

I would agree, sometime you go hunt bears, sometimes the bears hunt you, and sometimes you find "Predator Aliens" in the woods.

Very clear. I am waiting for the "Church'R US" program, ala VOTF.

Many diocesan websites post them, in the case of Archbishop Levada, he also writes documents for the USCCB. I imagine in the future, Archbishop Levada will also author writings as a prefect...
