A Catholic high school is closing.
That Catholic high school needs $100,000 from the diocese to stay open.
The archbishop built himself a new house.
The cost of the archbishop's house could have kept the school open for another six years.
Those are the facts I have. Surely there are some rectories with empty rooms within the Archdiocese that could have met Myers' standards so that some kids could get a Catholic education.
If you go the Star-Ledger website, you'll find an article that indicates that Myers continues to refuse to meet with sexual abuse victims. Why would he do that? Why would he not meet with people who have been abused by priests?
These bishops should, as an act of penance for covering up and abetting this abuse, have to sit and listen to abuse victims pour out their anger, and tears, and hatred, and questions for as long as they want to.
Some bishops have done this, but most haven't, including cowards like Weakland and Mahoney. And Myers.
