Until people get over their obsession with Cardinal Law they will not be able to see the reality of the situation as it ACTUALLY exists. Let people be suspicious. There’s no easy rational way to deal with irrational emotions. And suspicion is not the problem.

“He visited these pedophiles in prison to provide them comfort and never once visited any of the innocent victims of these monsters.”

Cardinal Law met with victims of sexual abuse. So says the AP from November 2002. And the AP was not a friendly source to Law.

“For this he was awarded a seat in the Vatican.”

Nope.

I suggest you get your facts straight before you post what appear to be emotionally driven comments.

Sorry, Cardinal Law is in Rome not the Vatican. How about these facts:
How many times did Cardinal Law move Father Shanely and Father Geoghan after repeated allegations of molestations?

As a member of the Archdiocese of Boston don't tell me to get over Cardinal Law. The Archdiocese is a shell of its former self. If these crimes were reported when they first happened the church wouldn't be in the present state that it is now. The secrecy and the actions after the fact of Cardinal Law made the situation much worse.

Take a tour of the closed parishes and schools in Boston along with the empty Mass and then tell me to get over Cardinal Law.
