In what might be the first formal complaint to a new Vatican tribunal,
an advocacy group for clergy sexual abuse victims on Wednesday called
for an investigation of Newark Archbishop John J. Myers and his handling
of child molestation cases spanning three decades.
Eight members of Catholic Whistleblowers, a national group of church reformists, said they would be filing an 80-page document detailing Myers’ actions in various cases in Newark and at his former diocese in Peoria, Illinois. On Wednesday, they hand-delivered a copy of their grievances to Myers’ spokesman at the Newark chancery and said they would send another to the Vatican’s top U.S. diplomat in the coming days.
