On June 28, 2009, physicist Stephen Hawking hosted a welcome reception for time travellers at the University of Cambridge. He set out champagne and snacks, but did not mail the invitations until the next day. No guests arrived. - Made on powerpoint like all good memes!
Spoilers for the Catholic Church.
Bernard Francis Law (1931-2017) was a Mexican-American catholic priest, who served as Archbishop of Boston from 1984 to 2002.
In 2002, an investigation by The Boston Globe revealed Law's involvement in covering up the serial rape of children by Catholic priests which led to his resignation as Archbishop of Boston that year. Church documents demonstrate that Law had extensive knowledge of widespread child sexual abuse committed by dozens of Catholic priests in his archdiocese over almost two decades; he failed to report these crimes to the authorities, instead merely transferring the accused priests between parishes. In the movie Spotlight (2015), Law is played by Len Cariou.
Instead of facing criminal or civil legal action, in May 2004, Pope John Paul II appointed Law to a post in Rome, as Archpriest of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, a largely ceremonial role that conveyed citizenship in Vatican City. He partook in the April 2005 papal conclave which elected a new pope, Joseph Ratzinger – Benedict XVI.
Law spent his remaining years in the Vatican, even after retiring in 2011. He died in 2017 and presumably went to heaven.
