I want to think this is a hoax or a joke, but I have a horrible feeling it's not:

Only in the United States. Only in the United States. More on this as I find more out.

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.

You should've been out there when the scandal broke originally. For some reason, I always hear about big events on NPR and Steve, who's up way before me, since I'm jetlagged. (It was 4 a.m. Fork Daylight Saving Time, and Steve (and the very bright thing in the sky they call "the sun" that we don't have in Seattle) woke me up to hear the report. I wasn't a happy camper.)
