Just “wow”!, ping
I just read that it is not true that he was banished to a monastery.
Then I was right yesterday. Wow. Once he hears about Mahoney, he should be next.
It would be helpful if you could post your source. Thanks!
Though now retired, the cardinal still enjoys a grace and favour apartment in the cathedral complex. So hearing that the new Pope was offering prayers at the very same church, it seems he couldnt resist a discreet peak. But when Pope Francis recognised him, he immediately ordered that Law be removed, according to Italian media reports. He went on to command: He is not to come to this church any more.
One of the new Popes first acts will be to arrange new cloistered accommodation for the disgraced cardinal, the Italian daily, Il Fatto Quotidiano, reported.
While I heartily applaud this new action, we've been told for years that giving Law a cardinalship and sending him to the Vatican was his punishment. If so, why punish him further?
Repentance is highly over-rated.
I wonder what Jesus thinks of this action?
NYer, thanks, as usual for posting, you posted something a few days before the conclave, one of only a few things I read, not wanting to get too wrapped up.
I can’t seem to find it.
It was about how the next pope will be the third in the series of three necessary to clean up the Curia, so to speak.
anyway, this Cardinal Law story is something that slipped right by this week.
I saw something about it.
Our media is not reporting it too boldly.
It is good news for anyone interested in seeing courage in action especially in our leaders who need to use it in order to carry out the justice required to eradicate evil.
bye bye you jowly old shameful pig (((((((((
I saw somewhere that Pope Francis is a real kick-___ kind of guy.
Guess there is a nice balance there, and one can get away with that sort of thing - with his obvious deep humility showing all over the place. What can anyone say - haha.
Keep it up, Holy Father !
(Not to belittle what is going around that our previous Holy Father was kicking 200-300 bishops out of their cushy’s PER MONTH. WAY TO GO !!!!!!!!
Saw that thread and pinged it to my list. Since it comes from the National Catholic fishwrap, I question its veracity.

Whether true or false, the rumor of the new Pope having made a gesture seems to have ended all hints of a defense of Law.
Now people post as though they knew that he was a villain and guilty, all along and never offered any defenses of him.
I don't.
It's published in the NCR but John Allen wrote it. He usually does his homework and is seldom wrong.

oooops !????
I was under the impression that that ‘John Allen’ character is inevitably always wrong. And misleading. Like on purpose.
His only way to draw any attention - like trying to create some fuss or other over scandalous nothings. Pitiful.
Surely fishwrap.
Your impression is very wrong. Allen is pretty reliable.
Perhaps you should not rely on your impressions so much.
OK, but how are Common Law and Civil Law faring post election? I don't want to ask about Martial Law.
