But victims say he needs to release priest docs
Buffalo Bishop Richard Malone is selling his house.
The palatial mansion on Oakland Place — home to Buffalo’s bishops since 1952 — will soon be sold, possibly for upwards of $1 million, to help pay victims of sexually abusive Catholic priests in Buffalo.
“So it’s an important day, kind of a historic day, but I feel good about it,” Malone said in an afternoon news conference. “We do have some resources for that already, but we know we’ll need more, so we decided to put the house on the market.”
Abuse victims say the symbolism — the bishop will live in a vacant convent at St. Stanislaus Church on Buffalo’s East Side — is striking.
