Philadelphia Monsignor's Conviction Overturned in Cover-Up of Sexual Abuse

By ERIK ECKHOLM and STEVEN YACCINO

The criminal conviction of Msgr. William J. Lynn was overturned by a Pennsylvania appeals court after the court rejected the argument that a child welfare law applied to employers. 

"A trap for tourists.Why," the bishop went on with asperity.


The performances too are spot-on with Keith Allen and Andy de Ia Tour catching the matching vulgarity of the two brothers, Lia Williams combining sexiness and asperity as the banker's trophy wife and Danny Dyer as the far-from-dumb waiter implying a world of eccentric otherness far beyond the comprehension of these self-absorbed diners.

trophy wife
n.
An attractive, young wife married to a usually older, affluent man.

monsignor （ It. ）： (1) 蒙席：教宗頒賜有功神父的榮銜，通常可穿與主教近似之主教服裝。 (2) 主教：拉丁國家都用此稱呼。 Monsignor 縮寫方式甚多：英語通用者為 Msgr., Mgr. ，拉丁國家則用 Mons. 。法文稱作 monseigneur 。
