The Diocese of Rockville Centre is blessed to have him.

I think the response the Bishop offered was perfectly pastoral and appropriate in tone.  The only problem you could possibly have with it is that he did not jump immediately on the bandwagon...he had the temerity to say he'd pray about it.  He is the Bishop of close to 2 million people who identify as Catholic....not just those who agree with the preponderance of writers and posters here.  

By the way - I am constantly amazed at how many claim to jump on the caring for immigrant ideology - yet discriminate at will against foreign born priests, claiming they don't adapt to the language and culture well.  Double standard much?
