Sad. I agreed with him most of the time.
Martino was pushed out. It was an entirely political decision. He stepped on the toes of the powerful Casey clan (The Kennedys of Pennsylvania). Then he joined the orthodox Catholic Bishops in denouncing the honors given to Obama at Notre Dame.
Martino insisted that the Catholic universities in his Diocese not advocate the gay lifestyle. He threatened CINO politicians like Bobby Casey with denial of Communion.
Everything he said and did was 100% in keeping with the Magisterium.
Martino is being persecuted for being firm in the Faith.
In fact, this appears to be the beginning of universal persecution of any and all Catholic Bishops and priests who are thoroughly prolife.
The Bishop made his staement and I know him.Anyone who says otherwise from his statement is a liar because he is calling the Bishop a liar and is guilty of Calumny.
Calumny
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03190c.htm
(Latin calvor, to use artifice, to deceive)
“Etymologically any form of ruse or fraud employed to deceive another, particularly in judicial proceedings. In its more commonly accepted signification it means the unjust damaging of the good name of another by imputing to him a crime or fault of which he is not guilty. The sin thus committed is in a general sense mortal, just as is detraction.
In this country you make too much of the abortion right, then youraise the ire of its rulers, and our bishops are afraid of those rulers.
