we've been told for years that giving Law a cardinalship and sending him to the Vatican was his punishment

Law was a cardinal long before the abuse scandal broke, so that certainly wasn't his punishment. And his assignment was as archpriest of a Roman basilica, a largely ceremonial role. It's not in the Vatican.

I stand corrected.
