The Illuminated Donkey

I don't claim to be an expert on criminal law or the Roman Catholic church, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Cardinal Law should really think of another line of defense for his archdiocese besides "the six-year-old was asking for it." And as long as I'm down this road, could the Boston Herald perhaps come up with a more decorous headline for a story about a survivor of sexual abuse than "Judge refuses to gag alleged priest victim"?
