I hope you're being facetious. This isn't anti-Catholic bigotry. Law belonged in jail. Period. Everyone on earth will face a higher authority eventually, but that doesn't make him or anyone else exempt from our laws.
I'm Catholic, and frankly embarrassed that Law and Mahoney (our local cardinal) will have a vote. I only take solace in the fact that they represent less than 2% of the vote, so they won't swing it given the 2/3 majority required.
How exacty is the Catholic church going to put Law in jail?
I think the DA is supposed to press charges. Not the Church.
That's providing that the 2/3 (plus 1, I thought?) majority can be reached.
If after two weeks there's no 2/3 agreement it goes to a simple majority, I believe.
Amen, or at least in some remote monastery doing penance for the rest of his life in reparation for all the lives he helped to ruin. Yes, then under those circumstances, being truly repentant and willing to do penance, I think he should be forgiven.
