What is it about bishops from upstate New York?

Hubbard, Clark, and now this guy. Is there something in the water up there?

Surah 76:19--- Allah promises fresh youths to Muslim men.

And round about them shall go youths never altering in age; when you see them you will think them to be scattered pearls.

Is there some link there? I would think that the Roman Church had more pressing issues than making nice with local Muslims.

As for the "water"...Western NY does have a history of shall we say religious fervor...it is called the "burned over district" and has seen many many cults/sects originate there especially during the second great awakening in the early 19th century.
