After resigning as archbishop of Boston in December 2002, Cardinal Bernard Law, who died in Rome early this morning, took refuge in a convent in Clinton, Maryland, owned by the Sisters of Mercy of Alma.
A year and a half later, in May 2004, he was appointed archpriest of St. Mary Major Basilica, one of the oldest and most important shrines in Rome, and settled into an influential, albeit quiet, role in the Vatican Curia.
Five years after Law’s resignation, NCR ran a profile of the cardinal detailing his life in the heart of the Vatican. The article ran under the headline: “After the fall: Law finds normality in an unremarkable role in Rome.”
