Cardinal Bernard Law, who resigned in disgrace as archbishop of Boston over his role in the Catholic priests sex abuse crisis, has been given a role of honor in the mourning for the Pope. The Vatican announced the BIG screw up Thursday, saying Law will lead one of the Masses celebrated in the pope's memory during the nine-day period that follows the funeral. Catholics in his former archdiocese, as you'd certainly expect, immediately protested. "It certainly shows and puts a spotlight on the lack of accountability in the Catholic Church,that the most visible bishop in the child rape scandal has been given this honor," she said. David Clohessy, national director for the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, called it "terribly insensitive." "It rubs salt into the already deep wounds of victims and it allows the best-documented complicit bishop to exploit the pope's death for his own selfish purposes," Clohessy said. Is this Bush-style chutspah or Bush-style extreme stupidity? They are mocking the few people who still have faith in the Catholic Church. They're clearly saying, "We don't care what you think - we don't care how it looks." ...and statistically, another boy was raped by a priest the day the pope was buried.

We are SO fortunate to have a man of HIS stature leading the country! Thank God somebody else recognizes how lucky we are to have these honorable people leading us. Shrub has brought Honor back to the White House, and I am so glad to see her. jamesbondmm.co.uk (ed note; no, she wasn't invited; too bad, bcause this time it would have been ok to have Pussy Galore in the Oval Office). Thanks be that we have place honor so high in our national character. Most honorable leaders. 1 week to the Ides of April. Beware. Send your taxes to the honorable Shrub on time. Marcus Antonio Ratticus PS Glad to see this...Cardinal Bernard Law, who resigned in disgrace as archbishop of Boston over his role in the Catholic priests sex abuse crisis, has been given a role of honor in the mourning for the Pope. We need people of honor. Mayhaps he can be the WH chaplin after this gig.
