New Jersey is now home to yet another full old rite parish. The F.S.S.P. is in Pequannock, in the Diocese of Paterson. The Institute of Christ the King has joined the party: They now have a home in the Archdiocese of Newark. (Also, not at a great distance, depending on where you live in the Archdiocese of Newark, is the Mater Ecclesiae parish in Berlin, NJ, in the Diocese of Camden.)
If Levada becomes the next Archbishop of New York, as some anticipate, will he finally allow an old rite parish in the City itself?

I think Pequannock is actually in the Diocese of Paterson, under Bishop Serratelli. There are four other dioceses in New Jersey besides the Newark archdiocese: Paterson, Metuchen, Camden, and Trenton. Great news though!
Thank you, Francis Regis! My mistake
New Jersey: The home of the re-birth of East Coast Orthodoxy! Between this and the recent statements out of New Jersey on Giuliani, etc., it shows a lot of promise!
I wouldn’t mistake Levada for a friend, though. He didn’t allow any indults in San Fran.
Oh, don’t worry! I’m certainly not mistaking him for a friend. But as with Cardinal Maida in Detroit, so (it seems) with Cardinal Egan in New York: it’s not going to happen as long as they remain. With the motu proprio and new archbishops, things might finally get moving.
How sad!
