The very first scene in “Spotlight,” the new movie detailing how The
Boston Globe exposed the pedophile priest scandal, is set at the Area
C-11 police station in Dorchester. It’s the mid-1970s. In one room, a
priest sits alone; in a second room, another priest assures a woman that
the cleric who had just sexually assaulted her children would be
reassigned and kept away from other potential victims.
But just the opposite occurred. As the Globe would report in 2002, the Boston Catholic archdiocese took such predator priests and reassigned them to other parishes over and over again, placing more young children in their paths. And Cardinal Law knew this and participated in this cover-up.
