To signal his resolve on an issue that has deeply wounded so many, he should rescind the appointment.”

Note, however, that the Globe’s news story on this fell short of being objective and fair. See GetReligion on this: http://www.getreligion.org/getreligion/2014/11/27/ap-finds-distortions-in-boston-globe-story-on-vatican-sex-abuse-prosecutor?rq=boston%20globe
