The Archdiocese of Boston is expected to name a permanent replacement this month for Cardinal Bernard Law, and Twin Cities Archbishop Harry Flynn is on the shortlist. The Boston Globe has reported that the Vatican's choice may be made public as early as today. Law resigned last December, after revelations that he failed to remove known sexual offenders from active ministry. Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer talked with Don Briel, the director of the Center for Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas.
