NEW JERSEY
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
POSTED BY DAVID CLOHESSY ON JUNE 06, 2013
According to trusted Catholic blogger Rocco Palmo (“Whispers in the Loggia”), Newark Archbishop John Myers has named Auxiliary Bishop Edgar da Cunha as the archdiocese’s new vicar general.
For a decade, da Cunha has been Myers’ right hand man. Da Cunha has been silent while Myers has repeatedly endangered kids, broken church policies, deceived parishioners and the public about predator priests.
So how can giving da Cunha more responsibility make any sense or change whatsoever?
Myers could have brought in an untarnished outsider. Instead, he promotes a tarnished insider. This is “circling the wagons,” not solving the crisis.
