Good catch. Hubbard has been on The Wanderer hit list for a long, long time. And deservedly so. There was recently an article in the NY Swines about Hubbard's "problems" which they, of course, soft-peddled. Here's a quote from that article that's enlightening:

"Bishop Hubbard is on the Ad Hoc Committee on Sexual Abuse of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and in the past, he was a champion of giving some abusive priests a second chance if they deserved it. He has led the diocese since 1977 and is considered one of the few relatively liberal bishops in the country. Conservative Catholics inside and outside the diocese have made him the target of a highly critical campaign."

What planet is the NY Times on, anyway?

Thank you ... do you have a link to that NY Times article? Our parish pastor is one of Hubbard's right hand men. He has been appointed by the bishop to a diocesan commission to study the sexual abuse problem.
