Whether Albany’s bishop will follow the lead of his Buffalo brother bishop by reminding the self-described Catholic Governor Cuomo of his obligation to respect life remains to be seen.

The current bishop, Howard Hubbard, is, and will remain, silent on the issue. Now that his replacement has been named, we will need to await the ordination and installation of Bishop-elect Edward B. Scharfenberger (on April 10), to see how he handles Gov. Cuomo. Thanks to the internet we can read not only what Msgr. Scharfenberger has written about abortion and the culture of death, but we can also discover that he has been involved in the direct action of praying at abortion sites, joining most recently (Feb. 15, 2014) with the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants to pray for the unborn at an abortion clinic in Jamaica, Long Island.

Until 2012, Buffalo was led by Bishop Edward U. Kmiec

Didn't Kmiec have one of the most outrageous records in the (homosexual)sex abuse scandal?

Is this dork one of THE Kennedys, or just some dude named Kennedy?

Thanks be to God for such a man as this sacrificial Bishop Malone.

May Saint Michael defend and protect him, there in Sodom and Gemorah. I will pray for him, our faithful shepherd Bishop Malone.

Simple answer..excommunication. Too bad the old bell, book and candle ritual isn’t still being used.

> his position on abortion has “evolved” after much thought and prayer

ROTFLOLOLOL!

Anybody who believes this steaming pile of mendacity is an idiot. But then, we are talking about DemonRAT voters.

***Claiming that his position on abortion has “evolved” after much thought and prayer,...***

Yes, but to whom was he ‘praying’?

[Gerish]

Kennedy says he is nurturing his children in the faith. I say God have mercy on your soul Mr. Kennedy. You have not only put your own salvation in jeopardy, but are fully complying with doing the same to your own children by your own example. What a scumbag.

Anything short of publicly barring this piece of filth from the sacraments until it publicly repents of its great evil is just more talk.

C’mon, bishop-dude, let your inner inquisitor loose and make an example of this critter. Excommunicate him in a nice, public ceremony with incense, bells, and candles. Proclaim him dead to the Church and to God until he dons sackcloth and ashes, repents of his crimes, resigns his position in politics, gives all he has to the poor and enters a monastery, taking a permanent vow of silence as he does penance for the rest of his life.

I notice that the only people who go from pro-life to pro-baby-killing are politicians. The vast majority of real people go from pro-baby-killing to pro-baby-saving- former abortion doctors, abortion nurses, mothers of aborted children, recovering homosexuals, former pro-abortion advocates,etc.

Does the Feminazi Lobby REALLY have that much money?

[NYer]

Ping!

[BfloGuy]

Catholic politicians like Governor Cuomo himself who claim that they are “personally opposed to abortion,” yet would never stand in the way of those who choose abortion.

Would that they were so libertarian about everything else.

**Bishop Malone personifies the new generation of what Christopher White, my co-author and I call “transformational bishops”**

Praying this is true.

[Heart-Rest]

Hey, where's the "Bishop-Spine" award?     :-)

   

(God bless Bishop Malone!!!    May his courage and straightforward approach spread quickly, and be unanimously adopted by all the bishops throughout the entire USCCB.)
