In the beginning, it seemed
reasonable enough. The editors of the Newark Star Ledger, (NSL), buoyed by intensive
investigative reporting shone a bright light on the sex scandal swirling around
Michael Fugee. Simultaneously, it focused its attention
on the role of the Archbishop of Newark (NJ) in this matter.
Fugee has since been removed
from the Roman Catholic priesthood.
Others alleged to have had responsibility or influence over him have
been disciplined, demoted, or removed from contact with youth.
Once the Fugee matter was
resolved, the NSL refocused its attention on the planned Hunterdon County retirement home of Newark Archbishop, John J. Myers.
The NSL’s editorial staff considers
the place too extravagant and too expensive.
It wants him to sell it and to donate the money to charity. It further insists that Myers quit his job as
archbishop.
