I am hearing from a lot of survivors today who are concerned about what a judge’s recent ruling means for the Diocese of Buffalo bankruptcy case, which is already the longest in Catholic Church history.

Possible parish bankruptcies, rumors of the bishop's travels and a secret Tuesday meeting for Diocese of Buffalo priests.

Thanks to everyone who has been sharing my latest @BuffaloDiocese story about the allegations against Fr. Joe Gatto, one of the diocese’s most high-profile priests who has “stepped away” from ministry as more allegations are investigated.

One of the @BuffaloDiocese’s most controversial priests is accused again.
Will a different bishop mean a different outcome? Here’s some context on the allegations against Fr. Joe Gatto, including one tied to a teen’s suicide.

This isn’t a “common practice.” It’s a relatively new trick invented by American public relations professionals, who now outnumber working journalists by a troubling margin.
Chicago Mayor's Press Office@ChicagoMPO
This morning, Mayor Johnson attended the announcement for the second annual Chicago River Swim. It was communicated in advance to each reporter in attendance that due to limited availability, the Mayor would only be able to take on-topic questions. This is common practice for such announcements.

D.J. Granville is retiring, but people have been asking me, "why now?"
There are a few reasons the timing might make sense for him, including the fact that his notoriety makes it more difficult to do his job.

You may have heard, but I’m leaving my TV job to start an independent page on Substack.
I think people in #Buffalo & WNY will support the type of investigative reporting & writing that I’ve done for years in legacy media.

@Stuffed_Pizza Very good question. Based on the diocese's past experience, I would say that yes, they will probably put him back in service. But there are a lot of unanswered questions in this case.

@Charlie_Reports Congratulations on your new venture, @Charlie_Reports. While not an alleged sexual assault, I’m asking you consider looking in the alleged assault of the parishioner at OLC by Fr. Michael LaMarca. Will the Diocese just trot this guy back out to lead a family of parishes now?

Good fact-based reporting is under pressure in our industry. Today, @nytimes publisher AG Sulzberger made his first ad, "encouraging you today to support any news organization." It's a reminder of how important this reporting is, regardless of who produces it. Have a listen here.
