Former “gay” Albany bishop seeks laicization

Howard Hubbard, 84, has asked Pope Francis to remove him from ministry. He is facing allegations of sexually abusing minors, and has admitted to knowingly reassigning abuser priests and failing to report instances of abuse to law enforcement. He also admits to being homosexual. The Albany diocese has not confirmed that Hubbard plans to “marry.” [1]
