Years and years and years of covering up for, and advancing pedophiles in the Roman Catholic church who molested over and over again and you call that a mistake and not wicked?
Bernie Law arrived in Boston in the mid-80's. I remember the time frame, because we were still living in NJ when he was appointed. By the mid 90's he had already begun to implement changes in the way these matters were handled. I wouldn't call that years and years of covering up for anyone. No, he didn't take care of matters as quickly as he might have, but he was also dealing with an entrenched bureaucracy in the Chancery; the people who HAD dealt with this problem before he arrived, and with people who didn't like him because they considered him way too conservative for Boston.
