First, the guilty must go.
Second, the Chancery staff need to all be sent on to other jobs and some need to be fired. A new Cardinal Archbishop of Boston needs an entirely new team in order to restore faith. However, I believe Donna Morrisey should stay for a while because she has had one of the most horrible jobs in the Church and she has tried to do her level best in midst of an impossible situation.
Third, Mary Ann Glendon needs to be appointed by the Holy Father as a Lay Cardinal and given faculties and real, temporal power and authority over all litigation relating to the sex abuse scandals in the United States of America subsuming all diocesan chanceries and religious houses under her perview in this area. (Oh, I can hear the coughing alread....)
Fourth, Bishop Lennon needs to be raised to an appointment at the Vatican as of December 16, 2002........
Fifth, an interim administrator needs to be appointed, and that administrator could be a sitting bishop or archbishop from Nigeria, Uganda, or Venezuela; or, in my perfect world, the interim administrator of the archdiocese would be Mother Mary Agnes Donovan, S.V., the Mother Superior of the Sisters of Life, who would cause all those on the Left Hand of Darkness to "freak out" and tremble with teeth-chattering fear.
Finally, Archbishop Chaput of Denver is the best one for the Archbishopric of Boston.
Civilities aside, please do not go offering the Archbishop of Denver, Charles Chaput, OFM, Cap. around like he were a pack of dinner mints.
We need him here in Denver!
