[Gay State Conservative]

So Father Rutler is an Anglican convert? Does that mean that he's married...or once was married? Married men are certainly known to do thing like the things this woman is claiming but I think they're less likely to than unmarried men.

Also,walking past the church recently it's occurred to me that it might be bought up by the developers of Hudson Yards.I've read that Hudson Yards isn't doing very well but it still seems possible to me...not that I'm an expert on such matters.

He was never married, to my knowledge, but I don’t think it would make him more likely to do something like this in any case. I think the whole thing smells, especially the involvement of some weird private investigators.

As you say, the property is very valuable, and there has been speculation for years that the Archdiocese wants to sell it, but that they’re afraid to do so because a lot of wealthy conservative Catholics support Fr. Rutler and St Michael’s. Not anymore, I guess, which is pretty convenient for the Archdiocese.
