To: The Most Rev. John J Myers, Archbishop of Newark
Tell Newark archbishop: Reinstate priest fired for "No H8" photo
Firing a priest for posting a "NO H8" photo on Facebook is outrageous. Immediately reinstate Father Warren Hall and offer an apology to the Seton Hall University community for your divisive interference in campus ministry.
Why is this important?
The top priest at one of the country's oldest and largest Catholic universities has been fired for posting a "NO H8" photo on Facebook, opposing anti-gay discrimination.
Father Warren Hall was the beloved director of campus ministry at Seton Hall University, a school run by the Archdiocese of Newark, until he was fired at the behest of the archbishop, John Myers.
Seton Hall students are protesting and the firing is already becoming a national news story -- and therefore an opportunity to show that anti-gay leaders like Archbishop Myers have become a barrier to the church's ministry, especially among young people.
