“ A former New York bishop who promoted social justice, but covered up rape allegations, dies at 84.” The article reports:
Howard Hubbard, a retired Catholic bishop who acknowledged covering up allegations of sexual abuse in his upstate New York diocese and recently married a woman in a civil ceremony, has died after suffering from a massive stroke. He was 84.
Hubbard passed away at Albany Medical Center on Saturday after being hospitalized for the stroke days prior, bishop spokesperson Mark Behan confirmed.
Hubbard was known as a champion of social justice causes during his long tenure leading the Albany, New York-based diocese from 1977 to 2014. But his reputation suffered as the church became engulfed in sexual abuse scandals.
Hubbard had adamantly denied accusations that he abused minors. But he acknowledged in a 2021 deposition that he and the diocese covered up allegations of sexual abuse against children by priests in part to avoid scandal.
I’m sure that it is a coincidence that yet another powerful person on the left is tied to pedo ring.
Turning to run of the mill corruption: “Denise Yun refuses to drop out of Seattle council race after being caught SHOPLIFTING hammers - even though Democrat is running on anti-crime platform”— Daily Mail Online. It is fascinating how liberals (r-select on the political spectrum père Anonymous Conservative’s theory) completely lack any concept of shame. They really do think differently from normal people.
