When does this Archbishop retire?
July 26, 2016 — just a little less than three years from now.
I hope the time passes quickly for these three protestors. LOL!
Too bad there wasn’t a bus stop with lots of people waiting for the bus. The press could have made them part of the protest. LOL

Since Sep 8, 2013
the star ledger and the bergen record have been writing hit pieces against archbishop myers for months, editorials have been written for him to resign, they’ve been relentless. I’m glad myers is holding his own.
I think I’ve seen you link one thread you’ve started to another you started. What’s the difference?
