If Penn State allowed their football coaches to marry this never would have happened.

By the way; since this is obviously an issue close to your benevolent and altruistic heart, why didn't the DA in Boston indict Bernard Law?

why didn't the DA in Boston indict Bernard Law?

Is an indictment required for the church to act? Even Law stated that he failed.

Irish Catholics Call For Cardinal Law’s Resignation, Following Clergy Abuse Report

“To keep Cardinal Bernard Law in the position he holds would suggest the papacy does not understand the principles of accountability,” said Sean O’Conaill, acting coordinator of Voice of the Faithful in Ireland.

After leaving Boston, Law was named to the prominent position of archpriest of the St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome. He also serves on several Vatican boards and committees and he participated in the 2005 conclave that elected Pope Benedict. But he hasn’t been seen in Boston since he left.

“You’ll notice when the pope came to Boston last year, all these American Cardinals from Rome came with the Pope on the plane — but not Cardinal Law,” said Father Walter Cuenin, who was among the group of Boston area priests who first called on Law to step down in response to the clergy abuse crisis. “He could not have been on that plane. So in some ways I think even in Rome they recognize it’s a delicate situation.”
