Pope Francis to honor Cardinal Law, the racketeer who ran the world's biggest ring of pedophiles

The Catholic Church is a despicable institution run by the most corrupt hypocrites.

They make Hollywood and the Congress look like congregations of choirboys

A Judgment Day Cardinal Law Can’t Avoid

Double standard, anyone?

Impunity for the Church and its big shots?

Oh, my, yes.

Pope Francis will participate in a funeral Mass for Cardinal Bernard Law, the former archbishop of Boston, who, for many Catholics, is the institutional face of the scandal. 

Pope Francis, the Holy Father many Catholics prayed would finally hold men like Cardinal Law to full account, will instead continue to honor him in death.

The victims were as young as 4 years old. 

Many came from poor families, led by single parents or immigrants who turned to the church for help, and to priests like Boston’s John Geoghan as an example for their sons. 

Mr. Geoghan preyed on and raped children like these for the duration of his priesthood. 

But Mr. Geoghan was one of the many pedophile priests whom Cardinal Law spent decades shielding and shifting from one parish to the next, supplying them with ever more victims, building a temple of lies.

. . . .

It emerged that the Archdiocese of Boston had settled claims against at least 70 priests in the decade before 2002, most in secret. 

The number of claims against the archdiocese has only grown since then.

Cardinal Law “put child molesters over children; it’s that simple,” Eric MacLeish, a lawyer who has represented more than 200 sexual abuse victims in the Boston Archdiocese, said after Cardinal Law’s death.

John Geoghan was defrocked and jailed. 

Forced to resign in 2002, Cardinal Law later retreated to the splendor of the Vatican. 

There, unpunished, he had multiple leadership roles, including on a committee advising the pope on bishops’ assignments. 

His chosen bishops still lead many American dioceses.
