The St. Peter Principle....

Here's an interactive website showing the lovely little basilica Bernard Cardinal Law was given in Rome. It's Santa Maria Maggiore, probably the most beautiful basilica in Rome outside St. Peter's.

7. Certainly doesn't fit the crime of conspiring to cover up hundreds of

cases of child molestation.

11. It's all about who your friends are.

Or in this case, whose lapdog you are.

He was promoted to one of the most beautiful churches in the world.

12. I'm an atheist and I can tell you,

Santa Maria Maggiore is gorgeous. I liked it better than San Pietro..

SMM and San Giovanni in Laterano are fantastic, much, much worth a visit than the other churches in Rome.

Cheers.
