According to an article in THE WANDERER, April 25, 2002, the Bishop of Paterson, Frank J. Rodimer, sold off Pope Pius XII High School in Passaic, NJ, in order to pay off a family to settle a case of Child Abuse. He also kept on Fr. Lou Scurti who was arrested from being "caught in the act" with another priest from St. Luke's Church, Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ and a retired full-bird Colonel on Route 3 and Broad St., Clifton, NJ, a popular hangout for homosexuals. Fr. Lou kept his position as a teacher at DePaul High School, Wayne, NJ. He is now a chaplain at William Paterson University, Wayne, NJ. Can you imagine a Bishop allowing a practicing homosexual priest to remain teaching at a high school? What kind of Bishop does the Diocese of Paterson have? Fr. Lou, an artist, was also responsible for demolishing former/deceased Bishop Lawrence B. Casey's chapel shortly after Rodimer was named bishop. The chapel was magnificent, and Scurti removed all of the beautiful artwork, including framed paintings and frescoes depicting the crucifixion; the high altar was dismantled and replaced with a modern altar.

Sounds like what FORMER Archbishop Rembert Weakland did to St. John the Evangelist Cathedral in Milwaukee last summer BEFORE he was forced to resign in a similar case -- stealing $450,000 of dioscesan funds to pay for the silence of a gay lover. Weakland replaced the crucifix with a pipe organ as the center of attention for the worship space.

Does anyone have a citation to The Wanderer where I might be able to find this article?

Bump.

This is more disgusting than the principal/Priest at the HS in Brooklyn who was shacking up with the 18 year old boyfriend.

How has my Dad's old Diocese in Newark doing? Down here in Miami, the house cleaning has only started.
