Recent reporting from the New Jersey Star-Ledger about Newark Archbishop John J. Myers and his handling of a now-deceased priest in the Diocese of Peoria back in the 1990s would have you believe that area Catholics are rabidly up in arms to the point that they are fervently seeking Myers’ removal.
However, the meager gathering for an August 20, 2013, “rally” outside Newark’s archdiocesan headquarters, apparently organized by local gadfly/ex-priest/”Catholic Whistleblower” Robert Hoatson, suggests that anger against Archbishop Myers has barely extended beyond the editorial room of the Star-Ledger and the basements of the usual Church cranks, such as Hoatson.
A whopping three people showed up for the rally last week seeking the prelate’s resignation.
