Catholicism in the U.S. is abused by bishops [View all]

How often does one see the major daily [New Jersey Star-Ledger] of an area gleefully announce the departure of an (arch)bishop?
"...Blessed are we to be rid of this man. During his 15-year tenure as New Jersey's highest-ranking Catholic, he protected pedophile priests and used church funds to expand an already large weekend house into an opulent retirement mansion...Myers will soon be just a bad memory...Myers is an old fashioned vestige of church hypocrisy who will not be missed...So let him disappear forever into his mansion with the elevator. In the end, he'll have to work out his fate with St. Peter."
