Connell, a canon lawyer, wrote the letter after reading a Sunday Star-Ledger story about the Rev. Michael Fugee, who is barred from working with minors under a 2007 agreement with law enforcement.
In his letter, Connell asks the Vatican to examine whether Myers properly notified the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith after the priest confessed to fondling a 14-year-old boy. Fugee was subsequently convicted at trial of criminal sexual contact, a count later vacated by an appellate panel that ruled part of the confession should not have been presented to jurors.
