	Cardinal Law Resigns
		Law tendered his resignation in a morning meeting with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican, and it was immediately accepted, the Vatican announced.

	Reflections on the Resignation of Bernard Cardinal Law
		The problem is that Cardinal Law placed the reputation and institutional processes of the Church ahead of its mission, which is to cultivate, in the world, faith expressed in goodness.
		Cardinal Law is a victim of his own faults, of the recent and current faults of the institution he serves, and of a juggernaut with a life of its own.
		Cardinal Law's resignation does not end the crisis; and I expect that voices for reform will grow only louder within the Church, here in the Boston area, nationwide, and maybe even worldwide.

		Pope John Paul II yesterday appointed Cardinal Bernard F. Law to a ceremonial job overseeing one of the four major basilicas of Rome, granting the former archbishop of Boston a prestigious appointment just two days after the Archdiocese of Boston announced that it was closing 65 parishes.
		The appointment, which will indefinitely provide Law with a job and an apartment at the heart of Rome, infuriated critics who blame Law for the clergy sexual abuse scandal and believe that the ensuing crisis in the church led to the need for the sweeping parish closings announced this week.
		Law's new post is as archpriest of the Patriarchal Basilica of St. Mary Major, a fifth-century church frequented by tourists and pilgrims and visited twice each year by the pope.

		Re Law himself, I don't know exactly what it means that he was given one of the Masses to say, but I do think that he probably should have excused himself and let someone else do it just in order to save the Church any embarrassment.
		As a member of the Congregation for Bishops, for example, Law is in a position to influence the appointment of bishops to the American church.
		They argue that Law has not been held accountable, and that until the church sends a clear signal that there is no future for bishops who fail to intervene aggressively to protect children from abuse, the crisis will never be resolved.

	ALawUntoHimself
		The incredibly bold appointment by Pope John Paul II of the disgraced Bernard Cardinal Law, the Archbishop of Boston from March of 1984 until December of 2002, as the Archpriest of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome says so much about the current occupant of the Throne of Saint Peter.
		Cardinal Law and his chancery staff in Boston, which included the current Bishop of Rockville Centre, New York, the Most Reverend William Murphy, and the retired Bishop of Brooklyn, New York, the Most Reverend Thomas Daily, betrayed the trust of the victims of perverted priests over and over again.
		Cardinal Law should have had the humility to refuse the appointment and to have spent the rest of his life in humble prayer in a monastery, having voluntarily turned in his cardinal's red hat in disgrace.

		Law is expected to return to Boston this weekend, where he can begin preparing for his testimony before the grand jury investigating the possibility of criminal wrongdoing in the archdiocese's handling of sex-abuse cases.
		With Law gone, the door is open for new leadership, an archbishop who is untainted by scandal and the Boston old-boy network of churchmen that helped perpetuate it.
		Complicating the pope's decision to remove Law is a fear the Vatican has long been said to have had regarding the cardinal's departure under fire: the domino effect in the American hierarchy.

	Rod Dreher on Cardinal Bernard Law on National Review Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		One striking example of Law's evasiveness came when MacLeish asked the cardinal if in the early 1970s, when he was vicar general to a Mississippi bishop, he had approved the assignment of a pederast priest to a parish.
		Law, who was the bishop's top aide, said he did not make that decision.
		Law also professed no memory of when he got to know Doyle, who in 1985 co-authored a secret report for the bishops, which outlined the scope of the problem, advised on appropriate medical, legal, and pastoral responses, and warned them that they had better deal with the crisis forthrightly or face ruinous consequences.

	USCCB - Testimony of Cardinal Bernard Law on Assisted Suicide (1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Cardinal Bernardin knew what so many who have confronted terminal illness have also learned: The final months of life are no less precious than any other time, but offer unique opportunities for love, community and personal growth -- for the patient, and all who share the patient's journey.
		Under a law like Oregon's Measure 16, the great majority of citizens continue to be legally protected from anyone who wants to encourage and assist their suicides.
		Therefore it is cause for alarm that Oregon's new law on assisted suicide could interact with the federal Patient Self-Determination Act (42 USC §1395cc (f)) to require Catholic hospitals, hospices and nursing homes to counsel all patients upon admission on their "right" to assisted suicide.
