Questions surround Newark’s ongoing pro-gay push

NEWARK, N.J. (ChurchMilitant.com) – Cardinal Joseph Tobin’s new senior associate for operations in the archdiocese of Newark is a devoted LGBTQ leader.

Originally from Houston, Texas, Sean Ryan is a consultant for McKinsey & Company, who in October began an assignment with the archdiocese as the cardinal’s senior associate for operations.

In his LinkedIn profile, Ryan describes himself as an “[a]ctive leader in McKinsey’s LGBTQ network, GLAM, with national-level leadership in LGBTQ and other diversity recruiting.”

The archdiocese does not currently have any listing for Sean Ryan on its website.

Church Militant reached out to the archdiocese for clarifications regarding the reason for the hire, details of the position, Ryan’s absence from the website and whether the archdiocese affirmed his LGBTQ advocacy.

A spokeswoman responded: “Individuals serving the Archdiocese of Newark are from diverse communities including a broad spectrum of ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds. That should not be misinterpreted as an overall endorsement of any political or social agenda, but rather a sign to simply welcome all of God’s children to our Church.”
