It's long past time for Catholics to start demanding accountability from their bishops.

I live within the Albany diocese and letters have been written over the years for various things.

I pray that Bishop Hubbard retires soon and we get a good replacement

He reaches mandatory retirement age on Dec. 31, 2013 and will not resign sooner.

From what I understand, the Vatican has a very thick dossier on him, filled with formalized complaint letters written by local area Catholics. Short of apostacy, there is nothing they will do.

Do you remember the Fr. Minkler incident?

This may be the only answer.

Praying for you.
