Current Events > Kiddie-diddling priest protector Cardinal Bernard Law has died

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Francis_Law

Law was the Archbishop of Boston from 1984 until his resignation on December 13, 2002,[1][2] in response to the Roman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal after church documents showed he had extensive knowledge of sexual abuse committed by dozens of Catholic priests within his archdiocese.[3] One priest alone was alleged to have raped or molested 130 children over decades, while Law and other local officials moved him among churches rather than going to the authorities.[3]

Reminder that the Catholic church cares so much about protecting children from abusive practices within the church that after the Boston scandal broke, John Paul II made him archbishop of one of the most important churches in Rome, I assume as punishment for his actions.

In Rome, Law was considered an active and important conservative voice within many of the Vatican offices in which he served. Robert Mickens, a longtime Vatican journalist, reported that Law believed he had been "badly done by", and that other cardinals saw him as a victim rather than a guilty party
