Bishop Sex
The Archbishop of Halifax says it's important for parishioners to realize that priests can also be sinners. Anthony Mancini read a two-page letter at Sunday mass yesterday in Halifax. It was the first time parishioners had been in church since it became public that Bishop Raymond Lahey had been charged with importing and possessing child pornography.
Lahey, who resigned a week ago as bishop was charged on September 25th after his laptop was seized at the Ottawa airport and alleged to contain pornographic images of children. He is due back in court on November 4th.
