I remember reading just recently how Cardinal Egan invited the parish of this Lithuanian founded church to lunch and while there, had his henchman padlock the church.

I can only imagine that the priest must have felt that he was back in Lithuania.

What a way to treat a fellow priest.

That method was the same treatment accorded to St. Brigid's Parish.
