Vatican to Abuse Victims: Don't Take it Personally

Bernard Law, symbol for all that is shameful about the Catholic church and the sex abuse scandals plaguing it--thanks to their ridiculous position regarding the ministry--was the chief celebrant for a Mass honoring the late pope today:

Cardinal Bernard Law celebrated Mass in mourning for Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Basilica on Monday, ignoring protests from victims that his handling of the sex abuse scandal in the U.S. Roman Catholic Church should disqualify him from the honour.

Police broke up a small but symbolic protest staged by two victims of sex abuse at the hands of U.S. Catholic clergy, escorting one of them off St. Peter's Square as she was preparing to distribute fliers.
