It may seem a little silly to apologize to an entire city especially over something I had no say in. However, I feel really bad for Buffalo, New York. They will be inheriting a truly horrible individual. Bishop Richard Malone has been reassigned to that unfortunate city. Being the meddling asshole that he is it does not matter whether you're Catholic or not he will be a pain in the ass regardless of your faith or lack of faith. He on occasion will pay lip service to social issues that are deserving of attention but he will NOT devote any time, effort, or resources to them. He will, however, routinely interfere in local and state politics and public policy. He will continue to oppose what should be seen as basic human rights. He will actively oppose, with tax free church funds, reproductive rights, women's rights, and homosexual rights. As for the poor, they're not going away so why waste time on them. Pedophilia? Malone never met a depraved child rapist he wouldn't defend and coddle.
Sorry, Buffalo. Though I'm glad this lying, hypocritical bastard will be leaving my state I do feel for you. Who knows, maybe the Catholics of your city will grow a collective spine and/or conscience and put put this piece of shit behind bars where he belongs.
Like most mainstream media the pieces below are rather sugar-coated but they do at least acknowledge that he was not universally liked and admired. You do have to read through quite a bit to find the brief references to his critics/criticism.
New England Cable News "End of an era in Maine, Bishop Malone leaves for NY"
Bangor Daily News "Maine Catholic Bishop Richard Malone appointed bishop of Buffalo"
