Photographs of Monsignor Clark and Secretary Raise Questions
This one isn't on the wires yet. It apparently was an exclusive to Fox 5 News in New York:
Monsignor Eugene Clark, the rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral, was photographed in the company of his secretary at a motel in the Hamptons (over 100 miles away from his Cathedral). He's 71 and she's 46.
The photographs were apparently taken by a detective working for her husband. They are in the middle of a divorce.
Update: Also, WCBS TV
NY Daily News and also Michael Daly's column
Readers here might recall that Monsignor Clark gained national attention in 2002 for assigning responsibility for the sexual abuse crisis to non-celibate gay priests in a sermon at St. Patrick's Cathedral. (CBS News) I thought the Archdiocese was disgraceful in disavowing the rector with "he was speaking for himself." -- with the implication that Cardinal Egan wouldn't speak to responsibility for the scandal then (or it seems, ever)
