End of the Rule of Law

Another painful pun, but the peanut gallery is calling for some discussion on the resignation of Bernard Cardinal Law, and it's a worthwhile topic, so here goes. I haven't stayed abreast of the pedophile priest scandal since I moved south, but I think it's a good thing that Law resigned. And I don't necessarily think he should have done this way sooner: by remaining in office through the worst of the storm (we assume) he can take the blame for everything and be the scapegoat. A new archbishop can win over Boston's Catholic tribes and start cleaning the mess up.
