Buffalo, NY (WBEN) As a petition drive continues to remove Bishop Richard Malone from the Buffalo Catholic Diocese, An attorney who dealt with priest sex abuse in Boston says it could be an element in taking away Malone's credibility.

He says there's no doubt the Vatican is watching, and most of all, the bottom line. "My experience has shown me is money really talks, and if the amount of money donated is dwindling, then the credibility of Bishop will be dwindling, and he will be asked to resign," notes Garabedian.
