A journalist who has covered the Vatican for several news agencies is reporting that, according to numerous sources, Bishop Richard Malone will resign Wednesday and a temporary administrator has already been selected.
(This story is developing and will be updated as more details become available.)
Rocco Palmo, who authors the blog Whispers in the Loggia, published the story late Monday afternoon. His report comes two and a half weeks after fellow Vatican correspondent Christopher Lamb delivered a similar report of an “imminent” resignation.
Bishop Malone denied Lamb’s report, which came during the week the leader of the Diocese of Buffalo was among New York State’s other bishops in Rome for their “ad limina” visit, which happens once every five years.
