CWN Editor's Note: Seton Hall University, which is home to Newark’s archdiocesan seminaries, has announced plans for an independent review of abuse complaints.

Cardinal Joseph Tobin, who now holds those offices, has ordered priests of the Newark archdiocese not to discuss charges of homosexual activities at the seminary.
