It's no joke—or it is a joke, depending on your point of view.

 From CNN:

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- Several members of an advocacy group for 
victims of priest sexual abuse were flying to Rome Sunday to protest 
Cardinal Bernard Law's celebration of a Mass honoring the late Pope John 
Paul II, the organization's founder said Saturday night.

Law, former archbishop of Boston, is to say Mass Monday at St. Peter's 
Basilica.

Law is archpriest of Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, where he presided on 
Sunday. Pope John Paul II appointed him to that post after Law was 
implicated in the sexual abuse scandal in Boston in 2002.
