Tuesday, Cardinal Bernard F. Law ’53 began a civil deposition in Suffolk County courthouse regarding, among other things, a settlement that his Financial Council refused to accept between several church officals, including Law, and 86 victims of priest John J. Geoghan. This disturbing refusal completely disregards the archdiocese’s responsibility to compensate those who were sexually abused by Geoghan—especially after Law reassigned him to parishes several times after he was a known child molester. While it is impossible to replace these victims’ damaged childhoods, a financial settlement both acknowledges...
...time for Law and the archdiocese to stop hiding from their responsibility to the victims of sexual abuse by priests. They should accept the financial settlement that was originally agreed upon with the original 86 victims and agree to settle future claims against abusive priests...

It’s much easier for a student to accept a B or a C on a paper written mere hours before the due date because he, obviously, would have done much better if he had started earlier—and if he cared enough...
...three weeks ago. A primary objective of "reforming" the PA from Sharon's point of view is simply getting rid of Arafat, allowing Israel to deal with a new leader Sharon hopes will be more pliant. But the moderate Arab states and even Palestinian critics of Arafat won't accept his ouster, although they are likely to support moves that effectively limit some of the Palestinian leader's current power through developing structures of government that are more democratic, transparent and accountable...
...that a democratic PA is a precondition for negotiations may also be something of a hedge. After all, most surveys of public opinion in the West Bank and Gaza find a majority of Palestinians implacably opposed to cracking down on those who have fought the intifada, and disinclined to accept the terms of new cease-fires with the Israelis. A more democratic Palestinian leadership would naturally be more responsive to the concerns of its constituency, and therefore possibly even more difficult for the Israelis to deal with than Arafat. Even before the latest intifada, the Palestinian public had lost faith...
