[Lucky]

The church is on CNN right now detailing his decision refusing to step down relating to the sex scandal.

Then the people need to vote with their feet and boycott Sunday Mass. If you still want to worship, then go to a Protestant or Unitarian church.

You know, I'm not catholic, but I think this is a matter that only a Catholic's opinion should matter. Though he is a public figure, he's not a publically elected official so what the public feels in meaningless (for the most part).

Maybe you're catholic, I don't know. But otherwise I don't feel it's my place to stick my nose in.

lol, i dont goto any church so my feet arent gonna make any difference. To me its just amazing that countless papers, two mass. congressman, numerous TV hosts, and everyone and their mother calls for his resignation and he still wont step down.

I guess I agree (for once!) with oreilly that since he didnt step down, he should be indicted, if for no other purpose than to show a strong stand against his behavior. He had his legal advisor on (oreilley's) and he said likely charges possibly wouldnt stick to him, but I agree he should be indicted now that he refused to resign.

Perhaps it is "meaningless" but the church NEEDS its members to fund their operations (like the food that goes on Law's table or the clothes on his back). If people boycott the church, the tap will run dry. Send a message where it will be noticed: in the pocketbook.

My father is a Catholic who attends church regularly and he says that attendance has gone down a lot since this scandal has erupted. The Church better take notice. I wouldn't be surprised if the Church gets broken up into pieces in this country...another Protestant movement against the Vatican and the status quo.

The man is directly responsible for the molestation of a MINIMUM of 130 children, and that was just the number of children believed to have been molested by a SINGLE PRIEST the now-infamous Cardinal Law protected and helped get reassigned from church to church over a 30 year period, all the while KNOWING he was molesting children. Who knows how many other molesting priests he aided and abetted. That is why he kept moving them from community to community as they were discovered to be molesting children.

This is not just a matter for Catholics to decide, this man should be in prison.
