That may well be the case, but I assume there are responsibilities on the doctors’ parts as well. In reading the deposition, Law hadn’t returned priests to ministry who weren’t cleared by them; now they may be required to report it as well (if they aren’t, they should be).
Law definitely liked to give pedophile priests 2nd, 3rd, 4th chances. Geoghan alone was given at least a dozen. The doctors deserve some blame but how many of them knew all the history. The doctors also weren’t the ones placing Geoghan in positions of authority with children. The doctors weren’t handing out payoffs to victims. The doctors didn’t know the victims. Law knew who the victims were and never visited a single one. Law kept placing the same problems into different parishes. In the end Law just didn’t care. Which is now against the law.
