VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope John Paul II on Thursday gave Cardinal Bernard Law an official position in Rome, naming the former Boston archbishop who resigned in the sex abuse scandal as head of a basilica.

Law, 72, will have the title archpriest of St. Mary Major Basilica, a largely ceremonial post often given to retired prelates.

He resigned on Dec. 13, 2002, to quell an outcry over his handling of sex abuse cases involving clergy.

To ALL CHILDREN! A child-abuse protector will be running around free in the Vatican. Keep your parents nearby at all times. Do not accept candy from strangers dressed in robes. DO NOT, under any circumstances, accept free tours from this man.
