Bishop Gregory’s decision to create a National Review Board was an important step, both symbolically and substantially, toward bringing bishops closer to lay experts who have not been complicit in the bad decisions of the past. (It’s regrettable that some bishops have taken umbrage at some of Governor Keating’s comments—the board is doing good work, and we need to move on.)

Egan in New York publicly and intentionally snubbed the Lay Review Board; he wouldn't say Mass for them, nor would he allow any of his auxiliaries to, either.

Egan's got skeletons, and he's scared to death of the other shoes that will drop in his direction.

What a childish, churlish man!

Egan in New York publicly and intentionally snubbed the Lay Review Board; he wouldn't say Mass for them, nor would he allow any of his auxiliaries to, either.

His predecessor, John Cardinal O'Connor was a true leader. His funeral was a slap in the face of many catholic politicians who support the pro-choice agenda.

Who appointed Egan as his replacement? Was it Law? And, if so, what jurisdiction does he have over NY?
