Matt Kennedy+: Live From a Syracuse Courthouse: UPDATE...Diocesan Motion Denied!

It's 1:30pm in Syracuse New York. I am sitting in a conference room getting ready to head over to the courthouse. I will be live-blogging todays motion by the diocese of CNY to place a temporary restraining order on St. Andrew's Syracuse which would effectively freeze all the parish accounts....I'll be posting right here when I get set up..Here I am sitting in a very crowded courtroom. Mostly St. Andrew’s people are filling the seats. The judge is not yet arrived. People are speaking in more or less quiet tones. There is a good deal of nervous energy. The courtroom is very large. There are no free seats. Raymond arranged for me to sit next to the court reporter, otherwise, I would have no power. Bob Hackendorf stands and faces the crowd and leads whole packed courtroom in prayer.
