On CNN now

Breaking News - VOTF suggests Barbra Streisand as possible replacement candidate . . .

[Royal Guardsman]

I think I'd actually vote for her over this scumbag.

[zarf]

He's stepping down to open a day care center.

[CatoRenasci]

Pope Babs?

Shades of the old Pope Joan 'libel'.

[HamiltonJay]

This WAY WAY WAY OVERDUE! Too little far far far too late... but I guess it is a baby step in the right direction.

[colorado tanker]

My, my. I guess he did have a "little talk" on his recent trip to the Vatican.

[CatoRenasci]

No, No, an orphanage.... you need to have them overnight to really do the job right....

[Domestic Church]

Don't hold your breath...he doesn't meet with JPII until Friday and the fat lady didn't sing yet.

eaking News - Boston's Cardinal Law Offers His Resignation

[OldFriend]

I offerred to run the marathon!

[1Old Pro]

Good, he would have a tough time serving his flock when he's doing jail time. He'll probably like it in jail.

[MinorityRepublican]

About time. This news is a big relief for this Catholic.

I don't really appreciate some of the Catholic bashing that goes around on this site.

[FreeTheHostages]

? I haven't seen much. I'm not Catholic, but with this going on, I have nothing but sympathy for my fellow Catholics.

It's pretty obvious that Law ran the church like a business with respect to the abuse issue: he worried about paying $ to victims more than he worried about doing the right thing. To my lights, that pretty much means he wasn't true to the Church. So he should resign.

"I don't really appreciate some of the Catholic bashing that goes around on this site."

I love FR, but it comes with the territory. The priest-abuse scandal only accelerated it. But it was here before.

BTW, Law was never accused of personally abusing children. FYI.

What does VOTF stand for? Victims of the Faith?

[kidd]

There's a Senate Majority leader position opening up...

[Desdemona]

VOTF= Voice of the Faithful, a group of lay Catholics who want married clergy, acceptance of homosexuals and all sorts of other apostacy.

Steer clear of them.

[wai-ming]

Thanks.

I've seen the letters on protestors' signs, but I thought they were trying to spell "VOTE."

The problem with saying Breaking News in the title is that after a while it isn't Breaking News anymore. Perhaps the software can be revised to strip out the term Breaking News after a few minutes when it isn't Breaking News anymore.
