Law May 5 acknowledged “the disap- pointment, the anger and even the sense of fresh betrayal” arising from a decision by the Archdiocese of Boston’s Finance Council to back out of a multimillion dol- lar settlement with victims of former priest John J. Geoghan. The cardinal said the archdiocese would continue to work for “a just and equitable solution” for all victims of clergy sex abuse. He talked about the rejected settlement during his regular Sunday Mass at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston. He said the Finance Council, which under canon law was required to approve The Spirit of Service Awards Dinner honored those who have volunteered in Catholic Social Service ministries.
