Cardinal Timothy Dolan of the Archdiocese of New York may step in to examine the scandal-plagued Buffalo Diocese.
The news, which was first reported by the Catholic Herald , comes as Catholics across Western New York have mounted an intense campaign to remove their bishop after damaging audio recordings were published by the 7 Eyewitness News I-Team .
“Cardinal Dolan is very aware of his responsibilities as Metropolitan under Vos estis,” Joseph Zwilling, spokesman for the New York Archdiocese, confirmed to the I-Team. “Vos estis lux mundi” is the new reform law Pope Francis enacted last spring to deal with clergy sexual abuse and cover-up by the world’s bishops.
Referring to the cardinal, Zwilling said, “He has been following the situation very closely, and has been consulting extensively. I would anticipate that we will hear something within the near future regarding this matter,” he concluded.
