Scandal-hit cardinal to lead Mass for Pope.
<snip>
A support group for sexual abuse victims has condemned a decision by the Vatican to choose Cardinal Bernard Law to lead a Mass for Pope John Paul II. Cardinal Law resigned as Archbishop of Boston in 2002 following accusations that he covered up sexual abuse of children by priests.

Members of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests are flying to Rome to protest at Monday's service.

Cardinal Law is scheduled to lead one of nine memorial Masses in Rome.

David Clohessy, national director of the survivors' network, said: "It's an unbelievably insensitive move that simply rubs salt into the very deep wounds of thousands of abuse victims and American Catholics."

The protesters plan to hand out pamphlets at the St Mary Major Basilica church where Cardinal Law will lead the Mass.

"Law should have the courtesy, decency and humility to step aside"
James Post, Voice of the Faithful

I hope this is the lead story on TV, radio, newspapers, websites EVERYWHERE!

I live in the Boston area and Bernard Law is a disgrace to the Church for his role in covering all this up. And allowing him to lead a Mass is an even bigger disgrace...

I wonder how you say "Fuck You" in Latin? I'll bet Bernie knows...:rant:

1. If I was a judge, Barnard Law would be in jail!
This guy has the blood of untold numbers of innocent boys on his hands. When they caught priests in the act of molesting boys, Law simply moved them to another church.

You can get more evil than that.
