What do you recall from 18 years ago? Do you remember what you had for lunch on May 9, 1984? Do you remember the memos or letters you received at work that year (assuming you were working then)? Which blockbuster movie did you see? Who won the Superbowl or the World Series?

Are you seriously suggesting that movies and lunches are as memorable as having to deal with a priest—under your authority—accused of sex with boys?

I don't remember what I had for lunch 18 years ago, but I clearly remember two traffic tickets I got more than 18 years ago. I remember where I was. I remember what time it was. If you got audited by the IRS, would you remember that 18 years later? (Even if you didn't want to?)

If Cardinal Law found the situation concerning a pederast priest and the Roman Catholic Church to be no more memorable than lunch, what kind of Cardinal is he?

Disclaimer: I am not a Roman Catholic, nor do I play one on TV.

That was my first reaction. If he is being truthful, and such a situation was truly not memorable for him, then he is morally blind and deaf and should have been canned long ago.

On the other hand, I wonder if he is able to recall that bearing false witness under oath is a mortal sin.
