	Cardinal Law's Birthday Party Reopening Old Wounds TheBostonChannel.com November 4, 2011 http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/29683981/detail.html An 80th birthday gala dinner planned for Boston's former Cardinal Bernard Law is being held in Rome Friday at a restaurant near St. Mary Major, where the fallen prelate landed on his feet after he resigned in disgrace during the clergy sex abuse scandal. The executive director of Voice of the Faithful said she was disappointed to hear about the party. Donna Doucette said it shows how tone deaf and insensitive Law and other church leaders continue to be about the terrible hurt caused to so many victims of sexual abuse committed by priests and then covered up by church leaders. If Law wanted to celebrate his birthday Doucette said he should have done it quietly and privately. Instead, 80 to 100 invitations were sent out. Boston's Cardinal Sean O'Malley is in Rome but a spokesman said he is not attending the party. He is there on church business.
