John Paul II's Not Golden Legacy

New YDN piece today, on one of my very favorite things to talk about. Something tells me there are going to be some letters for this:

Among the small group of priests performing rosaries on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica last week was none other than Bernard Law, the Archlizard of Boston, who should be serving the first of several life sentences for active facilitation of the rape of children. But because the majesty and mystery of the Church remains unassailable, and because he curried the favor of the late pope, Law is instead shielded from merely secular justice and will be voting in the election of the next pope. This outcome is what John Paul II's papacy has wrought. His jubilant adorers, so eager to construct an idol of him, have failed to notice that the only material available for that construction is papier-mache.

In fact, I've got one pricelessly written e-mail already. More later.
