Not even going to comment, otherwise I may be labeled as an "anti-Catholic bigot". But, I hope my silence speaks my words for me

**************

As a Catholic, I appreciate your discretion. However, one doesn't have to be anything but a human being to understand that this is a dreadful mistake. I am completely perplexed by the support shown to Cardinal Law by the Church.

Hear, Hear! A fair and reasoned statement.

Likie you I am a catholic and I too am appalled by this special honor given to Cardinal Law. But I am extremely confused by what happened in Boston.

The fourth-largest U.S. diocese has been shaken not only by Law's resignation after 18 years, but also by settlements of more than $85 million with more than 550 victims.

Did not one of these victims have any parents to whom they could complain when these abuses commenced?
