Some of these guys were kicked out of other dioceses. It's good that they've found a home in Peoria unless, of course, the next bishop isn't a John Myers.
LOL! The archdiocese spans four counties, two of which are among the most affluent in the country. The city of Newark is only part of the archdiocese. However, it does have a beautiful basilica (go on a virtual tour) that is near public transportation.
Well no, not quite. They weren't exactly kicked out -- they were rejected as suitable priest candidates for their particular diocese. This is another reason why the heterodox bishops have a priest shortage: because the screen out those candidates with "unacceptable" views. Like what, you ask?
According to what I've read, men who believe in an overly "conservative" view of the Pope, Mary, the Saints, the magisterium, the Real Presence, etc. I've heard of men who were screened out simply because they subscribed to Latin Mass magazine. Any stuff like that will often result in being screened out by the wiccan "religious" who serve in these capacities.
I believe the so-called priest shortage is manufactured by people whose agenda is served by the lack of good priests.
