In Church Restructuring, Some Suspect Hand of Developers
in response to reader comment: Closure of Our Lady of Vilnius at Broome and Varick Would Not Serve Stated Agenda of Archdiocese

Submitted by Saulius Simoliunas, Mar 1, 2007 18:47

The surreptitious lockout of the believers from Our Lady of Vilnius Church by the New York cardinal Egan demonstrates the corruption of the Catholic Church, which wants to get millions from developers by stealing other people's property. There will be a legal fight to preserve the edifice as NY landmark and the cardinal will lose. Vatican will have to send a new cardinal as it did in the case of cardinal Law.
