Gov.-elect Phil Murphy kicked off his inaugural weekend at a Newark reception Friday highlighting New Jersey's diversity and offering it as rebuttal to anti-immigration comments from President Donald Trump.

Standing in front of supporters seated in the pews of the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Murphy joined religious leaders of Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and other denominations for an interfaith prayer service.

"Boy, I would love to invite the leadership of this country to come into this cathedral and say, 'This is the United States of America,'" Murphy said.

That beautiful cathedral has been politicized since at least Peter Gerety in the 70s. I think it’s a case of “me too-ism” in the shadow of Gotham.

Even as the comment is being debunked and the nations will be getting scrutinized so more folks find out how bad they really are.....perfect timing!

Yeah, Episcopal bishop of Newark installed in this very building. No surprise that Gerety was gone before retirement age...

As I understand it, the problem in Newark was the confluence of several events: The birth of shopping malls (replacing “downtown” shopping) and the loss of manufacturing jobs (which had originally drawn so many low- and unskilled people) were probably the most significant. I worked with several older Newark residents years ago, and they were fine, hardworking people (blacks that had migrated from the South in the 1960s); the real problem was their children - they “missed the train” in terms of jobs, and just degenerated into drug-addled messes.

What a piece of work Spong turned out to be! In charity, I think Gerety was embarrassed at Spong’s mad dash to be the nation’s trendiest clergyman. . .in the country’s trendiest church no less.
