A spokeswoman for the Diocese of Buffalo said Wednesday that she has received “no information” that Bishop Malone has submitted his resignation to Vatican officials.
“We have received no information in that regard,” diocesan spokeswoman Kathy Spangler said in an email to 7 Eyewitness News.
Spangler was responding to widespread speculation that the embattled bishop, who is in Rome with other bishops to meet with Pope Francis, is about to become the first bishop in the 172-year history of the Diocese of Buffalo to resign.
Speculation began after Christopher Lamb, the Rome correspondent for The Tablet, a British publication, wrote on Twitter — citing “reliable sources” — that Malone’s resignation was “imminent.”
