WHAT
Holding signs and childhood photos at a sidewalk news conference, clergy sex abuse victims and their allies will disclose that they are writing to
–New York City’s cardinal, who heads America’s bishops, and
–a national Catholic child sex abuse committee
urging that both promptly discipline Newark’s archbishop for “putting kids in harm’s way” by letting an admitted child molesting cleric be around children (even after having signed a legal agreement with prosecutors to keep him away from youngsters).
They will also harshly criticize Newark’s archbishop for what they call “a series of violations” of common sense, common decency, and the church’s own child sex abuse policy.
Finally, they will call on Newark area Catholics to stop donating to the church until Myers resigns.
