Well I still think Law should resign. And anyone else that has even slightly covered up sexual assaults should join him. It's not up to me though - it's up to his Parishoners and ultimately the Church leadership.

I've been wondering ... and anyone who knows, please enlighten me. How CAN a Cardinal be removed? Does the Pope do it? Is he "voted out" by his fellow Cardinals? I'm curious. I haven't seen any sign that Cardinal Law is seeking to resign ... or at the very least asking to be reassigned. Maybe being assigned to the Vatican would be a good thing. In fact, most of our Cardinals in America should be reassigned ... there are many good Bishops who believe in our Doctrines and teachings who can be promoted in their place.

But again, I don't know exactly how all this happens, so someone please help!

Bishops and Cardinals (a Cardinal is nothing more than a bishop with a red hat) serve where and when the Pope tells them to. No voting involved. If the Pope decided to ask for Law's resignation, Law would have to tender it. If the Pope decides to transfer Law to Siberia, Law would say "yes, thank you."
