Neither more nor less

The New York State Court of Appeals has very recently agreed to review the legal issues concerning the Archdiocese of New York's descision to demolish St Brigids . This is a review by the highest court of the State of New York and will likely be the final word from the state as to whether the Archdiocese can demolish St Brigids . http://www.savestbrigid.com/

This church in addition to its religious significance is also an important historical building of local and national significance . It is a historic piece of Tompkins Square Park too . Look to the east when in the park and your gaze will include the church , establishing a part of a familiar eastern edge for the park .

We can only repeat here what we have written before in an earlier post here at NMNL titled "Some of What Remains of St. Brigids Church" . That is to repeat here the words of the late 18th century aphorist and survivor of a revolution , a Terror and Napolean himself , Joseph Joubert . Joubert knew from personal experience much about wild , revolutionary change and survival in its midst .
