The Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo says the sale of the bishop’s mansion is moving forward as part of efforts to compensate victims of clergy sexual abuse.
The money will go to the diocese’s Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Fund, which Bishop Richard Malone set up in March to benefit victims of past sexual abuse by priests.
The diocese expects to pay at least $11 million.
Malone’s former mansion is under contract to be sold, but the diocese would not disclose any information on the buyer or sale price. A source told the Buffalo News the buyer is local.
