Seton Hall says it regrets award<\/a><\/p>\n

In today’s Catholic Advocate, the Newark Archdiocese’s newspaper, Archbishop John J. Myers criticized Seton Hall for hosting the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Myers wrote that he first learned of the invitations to O’Connor and Barry during Easter Week, a few days before the event. University officials approached the law school about the ceremony, but Law School Dean Patrick Hobbs wanted to hold the ceremony, said James Goodness, a spokesman for Myers. <\/p>\n

“I find this action profoundly offensive and contrary to the Catholic mission and identity of Seton Hall Law School, Seton Hall University, and the Archdiocese of Newark,” Myers wrote. <\/p>\n

He also wrote he is “proceeding in a way both to clarify the situation and to see that it does not occur again” and is “determining the appropriate action to be taken.” He did not offer details. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
