Post 17 gives some credence to the Bishop, since some cases had no merit. I did not say he was evil; he is more naive than anything else. I am not pleased with his leadership. He did absolutely nothing, in my view, for the pro-life movement in his tenure. Archbishop Meyers from Newark is only here 6 months and already he attended the living Stations of the Cross in front of the Englewood Abortion Mill and attended the NJ RTL convention. He's done more in 6 months than Rodimer did in 25 years! Nor do I like Rodimer's modernist ways with the way he designed all these new churches in circles with no statues or crucifixes in them. They look like protestant churches. He did very little to push the voucher program, Catholic schools are closing up all over the place, and according to the article in THE WANDERER he sold Pope Pius XII to settle a sex abuse case, that is wrong. He should have fired the priest instead of covering it up. This Fr. Hanley character is NO priest and Rodimer should have had him defrocked. And in the same article, it depicts the diocese as den of iniquity harboring many homosexuals. One of who was arrested in Clifton, caught in the act with another priest, and was still teaching at DePaul High School, that's despicable.

I agree with you that what has been going on in our diocese for the past few decades is awful, but I just look at it by asking myself if Rodimer is any worse than any other Bishop in the country. Immorality, homosexuality, and liturgical abuses are rampant in just about every diocese in this country where there is not a fairly conservative Bishop at its helm. I agree with you about Archbishop Meyers, though, because he's granted the Indult for the Latin Mass that I've been attending at Holy Rosary Church in Jersey City, and he seems to be a fairly active Bishop.
