Once, they said they believed in life over death. What does that matter now? Did it ever matter? What has that got to do with my job? Who is going to keep my red hat on my head? Keating. He shows the world that we mean business. We're tough. And for this hypocritical act of which they are proud, the church hierarchy went into an all-night store and bought trouble. In Boston tonight, the group called the Voice of the Faithful is going to parade with candles in front of the house where Bernard Law, cardinal, lives like a fat potentate. The deepest mystery of the Catholic faith could be how Law stays in his job.
He is responsible for allowing pedophiles like Shanley and Geoghan to roam Boston and destroy lives. His assistants were William Murphy, now the bishop of Rockville Centre, and Thomas Daily of Brooklyn.
Daily has reached the age of retirement and somebody said the other day that he was going to get another year because it is the 150th anniversary of the Diocese of Brooklyn and he wants the chance to sit up there and be extolled. If the Brooklyn Catholics let that go on, let this guy have another turn on the job, then he is a true shepherd because they are dumb sheep.
