I don't care to defend Law, he isn't competent for his job, but this is straining at a gnat to criticize him. If this is the biggest contradiction to his testimony the Boston papers can find then I'd suggest they've lost this battle.

If you want to know if he remembers this incident you have to ask that question. You can't ask the general question of when he first heard charges, as he probably doesn’t immediately recall when he first heard charges until you refresh his memory on it.

I have to do this in all my depositions. You first ask the general question, when did you first meet XYZ? They answer, well, I think that was at college in 1984. You then ask, didn’t you also go to the same High School? Answer: Oh yes, that’s right, we did. So I guess it would have been sometime around then, between 1978-82. If you don’t ask the specfic question your claim his testimony is deficient is extraordinarily weak.

A noted gay writer, [Jack] Fritscher said he was celibate at the seminary. "I probably became gay because of the [Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio], although nothing happened (to me) there."
Jack Fritscher's C.V., as posted on his website (WARNING!!):
(b. 20 June 1939, christened John Joseph Fritscher, and published as both John J. Fritscher and Jack Fritscher) lives in the Sonoma wine country north of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. The first of his more than 500 published photographs—mostly in the periodical metier of magazine covers, photography features, and centerfolds—appeared in 1961 as illustration accompanying his early poetry and magazine fiction. He is the author of more than 400 published feature articles and short-fiction stories as well as of two produced plays, three novels, five fiction anthologies, and three non-fiction books, the most recent of which is his popular culture memoir of his one-time bi-coastal lover, Mapplethorpe: Assault with a Deadly Camera. His 1990 novel is about the Golden Age of Liberation in the 1970's, Some Dance to Remember. Both Mapplethorpe and Some Dance are under consideration as motion pictures. As founding San Francisco editor of Drummer, Jack Fritscher re-invented and conceptualized this very first post-Stonewall leather-Levi magazine as a gay pop-culture journal created for masculine-identified gay men; he is the official First Editor Emeritus of DRUMMER Magazine and in his long-running "Rear-View Mirror" column he details homomasculine leather literature, art, photography, personalities, places, and events. See DRUMMER History. He received his doctorate in American literature from Loyola University of Chicago in 1968, and frequently reads and speaks on the aesthetics and politics of writing, photography, and the arts in American popular culture. With his spouse of over two decades, Mark Thomas Hemry, he has directed more than 100 videos for their California production company.

Law didn't know about this stuff? Riiiggghhht. In 1949, or thereabouts, a young boy was brought to a Catholic university here, possessed. He was brought here for exorcism in complete secrecy. Naturally, the entire campus knew.

It's impossible to keep this stuff secret or for anyone with half a brain to be so oblivious.

said Tom Reed of Madison, Wisc., a 1964 Josephinum graduate who served as a clergyman with Law in Mississippi until 1969, when he left the priesthood.

Credibility?
