In Boston, public anger has still not abated in the high-profile case of Cardinal Bernard Law, ....?

who acknowledged that as long as 18 years ago he made "wrong decisions" in keeping a pedophile priest in parish work. (See his letter to the archdiocese at the ZENIT Web page <>a href="http://www.zenit.org/english/>" rel="nofollow"http://www.zenit.org/english/>/a .) Within a year of arriving as archbishop of Boston in 1984, Law had shuffled Father John J. Geoghan to another parish, even though the prelate was aware that the priest had been abusing children for years. After abusing more children, Geoghan was removed for treatment, but then reigned -- only to continue his preying on youngsters. Court allegations say he abused 130 or more children before defrocked in 1998. Cardinal Law has refused to resign over the case. "My resignation is not part of the solution as I see it," he told a group of more than 500 priests at a conference Jan. 23 in Boston. "I want the archdiocese to become a model for how this issue should be handled."
