A year and a half of crisis and torment for the 570,000 Catholics of Western New York, the wait over- on Wednesday, the diocese of Buffalo is set to fall vacant upon the resignation of Bishop Richard Malone in the wake of a staggering outbreak of scandals.

Continued below.
Whispers in the Loggia: Dear Buffalo: It’s Over – Capping Year of Scandal, Malone Set To Resign

I'm confused about this because the NCRegister was saying that the Holy See never said he was resigning, and until they announce it, it's untrue.

NCR is reliable in my experience. Which is where I got the link from which connects to 'Whispers in the Loggia.' We'll see.

Beyond announcing the Pope's acceptance of Malone's resignation at 73, house sources likewise indicate the Holy See is set to name Bishop Edward Scharfenberger Albany as apostolic administrator of Buffalo until a permanant replacement is installed....

Huh interesting. Either I was wrong, or I mistook someone else's tweet for NCR's or they deleted the tweet. Most likely I was just wrong.

It IS a slap in the face. Not just for the proximate victims but for the whole Church. 'Early Retirement' my foot.
I was watching the news last night where they spoke to the bishop's secretary. It was horrible the things the bishop was covering up.

Yeah, yeah. But I was discussing his actions as bishop. Picky pants. ;)
And I was just upset that he gets to be known as the bishop emeritus of the diocese. After what he did. With a title like that he is supposedly a respected retired bishop in the community.

Well the Vatican is going along with it. It's no wonder that nobody takes them seriously when it comes to this rampant sexual abuse and cover-ups so prevalent in the Church. Who could blame them?
