Besides Cardinal Law, are other high profile church leaders involved?
Reports say Cardinal Edward Egan, archbishop of New York, allowed priests accused of sexually abusing minors to continue working while he was bishop of Bridgeport, Conn. Cardinal Roger Mahony, archbishop of Los Angeles, was hit by recent disclosures that a Stockton priest imprisoned for molesting boys in 1993 had written a letter years earlier to then-Bishop Mahony thanking him for giving him another parish job, despite accusations of sexual abuse. E-mail messages between Mahony and his top advisers obtained by a Los Angeles radio station seem to show diocese officials debating over how open to be with the authorities on the number and identities of purported sexual abusers.
