Gumbleton, who was appointed as a bishop 38 years ago by Pope Paul VI, is a pacifist with a reputation as one of the most liberal U.S. prelates on economic and social issues. During a meeting of the national bishops conference in Washington a few years ago, he said, he came close to mentioning his own experience with sexual abuse. "But then the conversation somehow changed," he said.

That ex priest who abused a child here on Long Island was abused when he was in High School. Do you recall the story I am talking about? I bet his is more common then we could imagine. I believe he was abused at Holy Trinity HS then later became a priest and an abuser himself. I believe the alleged elder priest was Ribuado who was defrocked as well.

This "bishop" would say anything to cause contraversy or get in the news. I don't believe anything he says.
