utter state of disconnection than the re-emergence of Bernard Cardinal Law former Cardinal Archbishop of Boston in the wake of the Pope's death. Yes, there he is, almost every night on our TVs looking blasted and haggard and explaining the whole Papal death-thing to the peonage in that silky unctuous voice of his. I don't think the climate in Rome agrees with him, but then being a passive aggressive yutz does things to man even a Prince of the R.C.C.
Its like he was never driven out of Brighton quite literally one step ahead of the lynch mob. I give Law this much, he may be shopworn within and without, but the man has sangfroid. He batted not an eyelash as the dioceses collapsed all around him-iti s something they learn at Harvard I guess.
Good grief every time Channel Five starts talking to his eminence you can hear the groans and sighs of sheer outrage all over the Commonwealth.
And the crowning indignity?
Cardinal Law, safe from the malign consequences of his endless cover-ups on behalf of pederastic priests, STILL has a vote to cast in the upcoming conclave!
Alas he is back, so the sooner the College of Cardinal's digs up some clown to be the next Pope, the sooner Cardinal Law will be off the airwaves. Unless of course, the Cardinals do something really freaklishly self destructive and elect Law Pope!
Oh won't that be a old timey jubilee? Good Lord I think this town might go up in a rhetorical mushroom cloud.
