One detail I missed in yesterday's announcements from Rome is how fast the new Mixed Commission proposes to work; Cardinal Law pointed it out during a press conference:
Almost as an aside, Law expressed surprise that the glacial pace at which the Vatican normally moves has been quickened so that the review will be completed by the time US bishops gather again in Washington on Nov. 11. ''I frankly am amazed,'' Law said of the three-week window in which the Vatican plans to resolve the issue.Now that Msgr. Michael Foster has been exonerated and his accuser rejected by the civil courts, he's been waiting a bit more than three weeks for justice. Can the Cardinal put an end to his ongoing ordeal?
