How is this a natural selection? How does it honor St. Mary Major?

St. Mary Major is a major church in Rome. That's where they stuck Law, right under the eye of the Vatican.

But since they're having a Mass there, Law would be the natural choice to preside, since it's his new turf.

It's really not the symbol that the professional victims make it out to be. Life goes on, and Law is still a Cardinal. He was actually a good Cardinal in many ways but his negligence regarding the abuse was a terrible failure, to say the least. IMO too many people spend their time consumed with hatred for him when Jesus said we should love even our enemies, never mind a fellow sinner.

Spoken like someone who's never had a priest put his hands on your b@lls, or worse, and then had it covered up for years by this man.

Yeah, except for that child abuse condoning thing, he was a great Cardinal. Isn't that a little like saying, "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?" It's very hard for a lot of us to accept that Law was a "good" cardinal when we think of the children who could have avoided being molested were it not for Law's coverups.
