Some have responded with a demand that has be come ommon when scandal rocks an institution: that Cardinal EVEN GET11N? Law r sign. But ardinal Law is not the superintendent of a public schoo system, where his resignation can be immediately de mand d. Nor is he the chief executive officer of a corporation who s ould be expected to take a fall to rescue the company' publi image. Car inal Law is a priest and subject to the law of the Rom n Catholic Church, an institution that for 2,000 years •• has st ived to take its lead from above, not from the gras "' roots. In this life, Law answers only to the pope and to hi , own onscience. This pope doesn't respond to poll , protests ., or ne spaper editorial boards, so it appears Cardinal Law isn't oing anywhere. Wh ch is just as well, for there is serious work to do in the Bost n archdiocese, and Law, deeply chastened by the abu es that ppened on his watch, may be the best man to do it.
