"Hubbard has defended his record on dealing with abuse by writing that "in the 1970s and 1980s, when an allegation of sexual misconduct against a priest was received, the common practice in the Albany Diocese and elsewhere was to remove the priest from ministry and send him for counseling and treatment."

"Only when a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist determined the priest was capable of returning to ministry without reoffending did we consider placing him back in ministry. While most priests who were so treated did not reoffend, it did not always work," he said."


How utterly void of any sense of reality can you be, right there is how to set the curve and a world record for naivety.

Why not? Provincetown is home to many bohemian characters.

In those days that was the standard practice. The information on the effects of this type of abuse was corrupted by the Kinsey Report. Today we know better.

Looks like he didn't go quick.

Maybe NO extreme unction might, just might, have kept him out of that part of hell where you don't ever get out of.

God help him.

So is his widow now called Old Mother Hubbard?
Contentment is knowing that you're right. Happiness is knowing that someone else is wrong.

Old Bishop Hubbard
Abuse he left covered
Then he got hitched to a wife.
It was all very tragic
But a stroke hemorrhagic
Suddenly ended his life.
Contentment is knowing that you're right. Happiness is knowing that someone else is wrong.
