In the same article, the following about Law:
Washington Cardinal Theodore McCarrick said he did not know why Law was chosen, but said it was likely because the basilica is one of the great churches of Rome. "It would be a natural selection," McCarrick said. "The choice was certainly not made for any reason except to honor St. Mary Major."
It's very important to keep everything in context and in perspective. Law wasn't honored, the head of that particular church was honored. It makes a great difference. I wouldn't buy a used car from George Bush, but I respect him as President and as an elected leader.
