Cardinal Law and Egan are not amoral idiots. So many on this thread have become members of a hate-filled mob attacking those in authority in the Church. They remind me of the old westerns where a wild-eyed mob breaks into a jail, grabs a prisoner and takes him to the public square where he is hung from a tree. The Jews and Romans did the same thing to Jesus only hanging Him on a cross.
Idiots because they will cost the Faithful perhaps 100 million dollars which might have been spent on the poor or on Pensions for the Nuns who dedicated their total lives to Christ in the service of the church.
And where will they get the money to pay for their stupid and secret machinations,why , they will sell off properties ,close schools and fritter away the money on lawyers, because they couldn't tell the truth.
Both Law and Egan believed they were above the civil law and used the good offices of a Cardinal to lie and deceive the Faithful Catholics who trusted them.
Look up the "Vision of Garabandal" and see what our Blessed Mother thought of these Clerics who would lead the faithful to perdition.
They squandered their credibility,they brought Scandal on the Church,and they Knowingly allowed the continued abuse of the most vulnerable in their flock.
If you continue to defend these guys, you are an enabler just as sure as if you gave the OK to Geoghan.
I trust you could find better use of your loyalties than to support clerical scoundrels.
