Those guys won deserved kudos for their coverage of the Boston arch-diocese’s treatment of child abuse charges. How about looking into the annulment issue? One Bay State reader suggests the following:
I think if someone were to look at the annulments granted in Boston and cross-tabulate that data against contributions across the range of Catholic Charities (to say nothing of the normal payola, which is obviously unaccounted), that someone would have the beginnings of a very good story.
The going rate, as I remember it, was roughly $40K-50K for an annulment.
I wonder how much Kerry paid for his. Why doesn’t someone ask him?
