Yes, indeed. Fortunately, he knows it, having been the main contact for Cardinal Rigali for the past six months or so.
There'll be lots more church closings and property sales there in the near future. But I would imagine that Scranton is not exactly a boom-town these days; so the property won't bring in nearly what the parishioners paid for it in blood, sweat and tears.

May God be with him.
May the Cure of Ars help him.
