Recently accused of sex abuse Bishop Howard Hubbard is widely known for promoting homosexuality when he was bishop of Albany.
A Church Militant article reported that there was "rampant homosexuality among the Albany clergy" when he headed the diocese. Moreover, the article revealed:
"Bp. Hubbard helped found and currently sits as vice president of the board of, a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, communist front organization."
(Church Militant, "Accused Bishop is Vice President of Catholic-Funded Communist Front Group," August, 23, 2019)
The pro-Communist homosexualist Hubbard has a connection to a adviser of the Chinese Communist friendly Hong Kong Cardinal John Tong Hon.
Whereas Cardinal Joseph Zen said the Francis China deal was a act of "'suicide,' Tong said opposing the deal was 'unreasonable.' He argued that the [Communist] government has generally become more tolerant."
(Catholic World Report, "Analysis: Francis, China, and the art of a deal," March 28, 2018)
A adviser of Tong is Chinese Communist friendly Anthony Lam Ze-kiun who said laughably and beyond the pale of believability that the Francis China "deal between both sides would help solve problems... because [the totalitarian regime in] Beijing was often worried about which priest would be ordained."

Lam according to the Holy Spirit Study Center, Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong (Catholic.org.. hk/en/) website says he works with and apparently for Marynoll Fr. Peter J. Barry.
According to the The (Troy) Record, "Barry celebrated... a 50th anniversary Mass... followed by a reception... Among the friends were Bishop Emeritus Howard Hubbard."
(The Record, "Local preacher celebrates 50 years of priesthood," July 26, 2015.)
It appears that one reason that the Hong Kong Cardinal, besides being appointed by Francis, is so Communist friendly is because a friend of pro-Communist Hubbard is in a inner circle of Tong.
Moreover, the National Catholic Register reported Francis appointed Chinese Communist friendly Tong was soft on the the Hong Kong extradition law until there was a "huge wave of popular protests":
"Cardinal Joseph Zen was the first to speak out against the extradition law... Cardinal Tong was more discreet than Cardinal Zen... But in the face of the huge wave of popular protests, Cardinal Tong harden his position."
(National Catholic Register, "Why are Christians at the Forefront of Hong Kong's Protests Against Extradition Law," June 22, 2019)
The world is still waiting for the Communist Chinese friendly Francis to speak out against the extradition law.
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church.
