Staten Island pastor no longer approves sale of church to Muslim Brotherhood linked group

The pastor who was going to approve a secret deal to sell a church to the Muslim American Association has wisely withdrawn the sale (via Jihad Watch):
NEW YORK -- The Staten Island pastor who signed off on a controversial plan to sell a former convent to the Muslim American Society has changed his mind. St. Margaret Mary R.C. Church Pastor Keith Fennessy sent a letter to Archbishop Timothy Dolan saying "after careful reflection" he's withdrawn his support for the convent sale. He also asked the New York Archdiocese to stop the deal from going forward.

Archdiocese spokesman Joseph Zwilling said...the pastor did not have the power to veto the sale. But he said the sale was not final until all approvals were met.
What I want to know is why he did it secretly in the first place? Obviously, because he knew this would likely be met with opposition, and indeed it did. But then doesn't that put him in a very negative light as dishonest with the public? I'm glad he turned around, and now, he could do a lot more to show that he's willing to do his best to roll these things back.
