In a statement from Newark today, @CardinalJWTobin, currently at #VEncuentro, said he will not be attending @synod2018. After #sexabuse revelations "I could not see myself absent for a month from our archdiocese & from you, the people entrusted to my care." (CNS/Tyler Orsburn) "After prayer and consultation, I wrote to Pope Francis, asking that he dispense me from attending, but assuring him that I strongly support the objectives of the Synod and that I would obey whatever he decided,” said @CardinalJWTobin #sexabuse @synod2018
