In the wake of recent reports regarding Bishop Richard Malone’s involvement in the sexual abuse scandals in Buffalo, the Bishop gathered all the Priests of the Diocese for a meeting.
One of the Priests present at the meeting called the mood somber. According to others in attendance, one Priest called upon the Bishop to resign, a proposal which was met with applause from some fellow Clergy.
However, a majority of the Priests seemed to support Bishop Malone who has publicly vowed not to resign.
The Diocese of Buffalo is divided over the Bishop’s lack of candor in reporting credible accusation of homosexual abuse of young males to law enforcement officials.
It remains to be seen whether Bishop Malone will prove successful in his commitment to remain in Office in view of these divisions which have now erupted among the members of his own Clergy.
