Embattled Buffalo Bishop Richard J. Malone, who has come under fire for allowing an accused priest to work again with children, is being edited out of a national child abuse training video.
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati is the first diocese in the country to remove any references to Malone from its training videos, which are titled “A Time to Protect God’s Children” and “A Plan to Protect God’s Children,” the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
The training videos are used across the country and are produced by Virtus, a national Catholic insurance group that conducts training sessions for Catholic churches and schools. Employees and volunteers who come in contact with children in Buffalo and elsewhere are required to view the videos as part of their training sessions.
“Despite our best efforts, there is a nightmare which no child should have to face and no parent should have to worry about,” Malone says in the videos. “I speak about childhood sexual abuse.”
