Great article about a great man of God!

Poor Cardinal Bernardin's legacy was forever tainted by a man who falsely accused him of sexual assault. Even though the man who accused Bernardin later confessed that he'd made up the whole thing, the stain of guilt stuck, human nature being what it is. It's a pity, because of all the men who have worn the red hat, Bernardin is easily one of my favorites: a man of gentleness and compassion, intellect and forgiveness. The manner in which he forgave his accuser is what will always stay with me. I don't think I'd have it in me to do what Cardinal Bernardin did for that man, but Bernardin's witness of true Christian love will always be an inspiration to me. I'd like to think that one day his unfairly sullied reputation will be revised in the court of public opinion. It's about time, and time does heal all wounds.
