I-Team investigation revealed current cover-up
Calls are mounting for Buffalo Bishop Richard J. Malone to resign in the wake of a 7 Eyewitness News investigation that revealed a continuing cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo.
Three elected officials from South Buffalo — the region’s most heavily Catholic enclave — including a United States Congressman, said Malone must resign immediately because he has lost the trust of much of the region’s nearly 600,000 Catholics.
In addition, they are pushing for a criminal investigation of the Diocese of Buffalo.
Rep. Brian Higgins said, “Overwhelming evidence recently released clearly shows that Bishop Malone has exhibited poor leadership and knew about children and others put in harm’s way. He must resign.”
