I am, on this topic of AoD decisions and their background, by the way, very well informed.

Do you have information on this case in particular? My concern is the effect of the dismissal of Fr. Jovita on St. Jude parish and on the community as a whole. It's my understanding that Fr. Jovita's bishop would allow him to stay. It was AoD's decision to have him leave.

If you've spent any time in 48205 [[the highest-crime area of Detroit) you might understand that Nigeria may be a better place to live. Not that I'm claiming any knowledge of living conditions in Nigeria.
