Even my Sainted Mommy (TM) did a happy dance when Cardinal Law in Boston got fired.
I know its supposed to be a step down for the guy and in theory I can see it but I really wish I could get fired in such a manner. I wouldn't mind being canned and then named archpriest of St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome. It understand he gets a nice monthly stipend and an apartment that has been described as a almost palatial. All with the burden of getting to lead the occasional group of pilgrims to sites across Europe.
Grrr ... that one is still a sore subject for me. I'm not a fan of VOTF but there is good reason to be a bit outraged.
