I just can't see how anyone could argue that Law should stay in office.

Mr. Horse, how do you feel about the activities of the priests?
"No sir, I don't like it..."

I never even knew what NAMBLA was until I started Freeping. If this report is true then it is a truly depressing situation. Suggestions that this goes back to the 1960's is even more incredible. Man, this is really disgusting. The best we can hope for is that the Church now cleans house and gets back to basics. There must be some sort of a silver lining to this cloud somewhere.

Another nail in Bernards coffin.

What could he have been thinking of all those years?

But more damning were numerous documents revealing that Bernard Cardinal Law, his predecessor, Humberto Cardinal Medeiros, and other archdiocesean officials were aware of Shanley's behavior as far back as 1967, but continued to assign him to posts that put him in direct contact with children. Law should be defrocked and thrown in jail. Let Bubba teach him a lesson or two about sodomy.

No, Jesus is going to grind this creep into powder if he doesn't repent.

What's wrong with our culture when shame is so alien that no one resigns in disgrace, ever?

Either Law is smoking freebase or Shanley's got something on him...it's the only explanation.

I hate to think of it in those terms but who knows? I get taken aback by this kind of stuff all the time.

I just can't see how anyone could argue that Law should stay in office. I worry that the analogy will be made with pro-abortion priests; they're able to stay on, and cause even more harm. Why then not the odd NAMBLA man? Tolerance of dissent makes a hospitable environment for even more egregious dissent and even illegal forms of advocacy.
Check out this "gem" from Notre Dame's McBrien:
The Rev. Richard McBrien, a prominent theologian from Notre Dame University, raised the issue recently in comments about the sex abuse scandal. "One of the good things that will come out of this crisis is that the Catholic Church, at least at the official level, will no longer be able to speak out on sexuality. The church's concern with sexuality has been obsessive," he said. (source)
This crisis is the one area where obsession with sexuality is justified, and here we have theologians still trying to push their stinking agenda of "liberation" and "liberalization."

The rumor is that Shanley has information on previous Cardinals (now dead) who molested him while he was an altar boy and seminarian. Cardinal Law and Cardinal Medeiros supposedly were told by Shanley that he'd release the info if they did not recommend him for certain posts or tried to throw him out.
Cardinal Law might be a lot of things, but I do not believe he is a homosexual. Of course, this whole thing is so evil and unbelievable and grotesque and deep rooted, I don't know what I think anymore!

Good question. Were our "values" operative 2000 years, Bishop Judas would have asked Peter for sugestions on how best to cope with the scandal.

Sorry, I meant #18 for you.
