Washington: Survivors of clergy sexual abuse reacted with outrage after the Catholic Church honoured disgraced former Boston Archbishop Bernard Law with a full cardinal's funeral on Thursday.
Law was honoured with the standard funeral Mass of cardinals who live at the Vatican, as he did. The ceremony did not include mention of his role in the Boston archdiocese sex abuse scandals that spanned decades and triggered a domino effect that saw similar scandals worldwide unmasked. Pope Francis led a short benediction at the service.
