Some evidence from the outset of the so-called "Apostolic Visitation" by Brooklyn's Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio indicated to many that DiMarzio was a wolf in sheep's clothing. For a start, it sure looked like DiMarzio had been working with some of the same Buffalo diocesan people that had been engaged in the long-time facilitation and cover-up of active priest pedophiles that blew up in the faces of the Bishop Ordinary of the Diocese of Buffalo, Richard Malone, and Bishop Edward Grosz, an Auxiliary Bishop in Buffalo.
When questions arose in October and early November from some pro-victim Catholic groups and the members of the independent Catholic press concerning Bishop DiMarzio's role as "Apostolic Visitor" and why he was chosen for the job, or why a more formal and transparent investigation under the newly adopted "Vos estis lux mundi" guidelines was not taking place --- neither Bishop DiMarzio, the Diocese of Buffalo, or the Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Christophe Pierre chose to make any comments whatsoever, with the staff for the Papal (Apostolic) Nuncio stating that they had no knowledge of the specifics of Bishop DiMarzio's Apostolic Visitation to the Diocese of Buffalo
Oddly, Bishop Malone seemed to welcome the "Apostolic Visitation" from Bishop DiMarzio from the time it was announced --- he even made a public statement in and to his diocese that, he had every confidence in the process, and that he believed the investigation would be “... enhanced by the appointment of Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio as apostolic visitor....”
From the very beginning, word had slipped out to many who wanted a fair and open investigation --- that Bishop DiMarzio wanted to have his visitation and report finished and submitted before the New York State Bishops’ left on their "Ad Limina" visit to Rome in mid-November 2019. And that is exactly what happened in due course.
Given the blase, cursory and jimcrack approach taken by DiMarzio, it was clear that he would not be able to conduct any meaningful investigation of the moral and administrative fiasco, involving nonfeasance, misfeasance and malfeasance, which patently had been committed by the Roman Catholic Bishops in Buffalo.
If it weren't for the media explosion brought on by Mitchell Garabedian's letter to the Newark Archdiocese, with notice to the press, on behalf of one of his clients, the DiMarzio visitation and report would have found its way deep into a dustbin deep in the bowels of the Vatican. Instead, the early misgivings of various victims rights groups, and their allies in the responsive and responsible Catholic press and the whistleblowers in the Diocese of Buffalo, have had their concerns underlined by Mr. Garabedian himself who said --- "The investigation of the Diocese of Buffalo by Bishop DiMarzio is tainted [because of these allegations made by Garabedian].... There needs to be a truly neutral investigator to determine whether Bishop Malone [of Buffalo] should resign.”
Mr. Garabedian and many others believe that the investigation should be led by a law enforcement agency and even a special grand jury..

Bishop Malone was allowed to get in front of the story about the 'Apostolic Visitation' by Bishop DiMarzio AND HIS ASSISTANT. Malone specifically thanked DiMarzio AND HIS ASSISTANT for all that they did.
Except for one item in a British Catholic paper that he was going to resign immediately, Buffalo's Bishop Malone has controlled the narrative before, during and since DiMarzio's visit and report. Malone hotly denied the report of his imminent resignation as soon as it had been published.
It's likely that the assistant referred to in the comment above is Monsignor Steven Aguggia, the Judicial Vicar of the Diocese of Brooklyn, and Head of the Diocesan Tribunal in Douglaston, who was named by the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington to be Bishop DiMarzio's "Secretary" in the same letter appointing Bishop DiMarzio as the "Apostolic Visitor" to the Buffalo Diocese.
Apostolic Visitor in Buffalo?
The best you can expect is a good plate of wings.
If Nicky Mars DiMarzio made the 'Buffalo Wings', rest assured they were inauthentic and not done right.
Maybe we can contract 'The Painter' to do another job, after all the Pope said he wants the DiMarzio scandal cleared up ASAP.
One of the few instances of using slave labor in an industrial setting was at the Buffalo Forge works in Virginia. A later and more prominent iron works company took the name 'Buffalo Forge' in the late 1800s, but they were not connected to the Virginia company that had used the slaves as mill workers.
Since all of that ended long ago, DiMarzio's report can seamlessly adopt the title 'Buffalo Forge' when referring to any reference to the Brooklyn Bishop's 'Apostolic Visitation' to the Diocese of Buffalo.
sounds like 6:24 has netflix.
The Irishman sounds authentic. How can it not be? Three Italian guys and one Jew play Irish & Polish guys.
Joe Pesci is Jewish?
I think 9:32 was referring to Harvey Keitel
Check the search engines LIke Google for a variety of names and titles of and for BIshop Nicholas DiMarzio and you'll find a reference to the charge of pedophilia high on the list, often first, and repeatedly thereafter for page after page after page after page, etc.......
