The blog post that I published after the movie “Spotlight” received Best Picture from the Academy Awards was reprinted in the Catholic Herald from the Diocese of Colorado Springs.

Connecting Sacraments and Service
Thank you for taking the discussion time to bring this topic out of the dark shadows. The cast in this movie did an amazing job and the this case made historical legislative changes in Massachusetts and other states regarding the reporting of known sex crimes.
I saw the movie which I thought was well done & came home & got on Internet & was shocked that Cardinal Law remained a cardinal & went to Vatican after this very disappointing!! Now he is a retired Cardinal not right as far as I am concerned . I am still a Catholic because I do believe there are more Priests doing a wonderful job than those who surely have let so many down. Cardinal Law should not have been able to remain a Cardinal even if he did confess!! I know people that were abused & it makes me sick that it took journalists to prove all this was a cover up!! Makes it difficult sometimes when you say you are CATHOLIC!!
