Cardinal Bernard Law, who was at the center of the clergy sex abuse scandal in Boston, is in failing health. Cardinal
Sean O'Malley, Law’s replacement, spoke about Law during a news
conference at which he discussed his time with Pope Francis last week.
Watch report O’Malley was asked why Law has not been held responsible for his involvement in the scandal. The pope has said that he is committed to healing relationships with survivors. “Cardinal Law, he’s been retired for many years, He’s in ill health. He is 83,” O’Malley said. “Cardinal Law left Boston. He was not kept here, and that was a very important decision, I think, for healing.”
