This guy also alleges the Abp. Myers is gay -- something I have a very hard time believing.

Abp. Meyers seems to be one of the better bishops around. The SSPX still publicizes a 1982 story about the wretched state of the Newark seminary, chosen as an examle because of the absolute dearth of vocations. Last year, the Newark diocese, only 9th largest in the US, graducated as many priests as any other in the US: 14. (Chicago, nearly twice as big, also graduated 14. LA, far more than three times as big, graduated 6.)

If, in his testimony, Robert Hoatson asserted that Bishop Miers was gay, I can certainly imagine why he would receive the treatment he did from Abp. Miers' office! If Abp. Miers WERE gay, the only way Hoatson could reliably know it is from precisely the sort of abuse he attributes to McCarrick, but not to Miers. If he's the sort of person who would blab mere gossip around like that, HE'D be the one committing a grave sin; if he has some first-hand knowledge, he should state it.

(If anyone has more details to address these issues, please send them to me in person.)
