A predictable politician
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Jul 21, 2003
Well, well, well.
The attorney general of Massachusetts is very critical of the way the Boston archdiocese handled sex-abuse allegations. Great. Is there anyone left who is not very critical?
The AG says there won't be any indictments. Surprise, surprise! Indictments entail hard work-- actual prosecution-- rather than big talk and media splash.
The AG says that most of all, his office wants to "help" the archdiocese in the future-- in other words, he'd like to set policies for the Catholic Church.
Enjoy your press conference, Mr. Reilly. That's what you're good at.
