I'll agree that Bernard Cardinal Law screwed up royally in his mishandling of the sex abuse scandal in Boston; and I agree that he should have been pushed into resigning from his position, which happened. I disagree with those who believe that he must now live in shame the rest of his life, and that he should be limited to janitorial work or garbage collection or the like. He's been given a post in Rome, in charge of a single church. This is a makework job, a huge step down from being in charge of the Boston Archdiocese.
If he celebrates a Mass in memory of the Pope, so what? Why make a big deal of it? He's a priest, and priests celebrate Mass. When popes die, most priests celebrate a Mass in honor of the dead guy.
