Such a terrible thing...


Diocese won't pay Lahey's legal bills


"Bishop Raymond Lahey not staying at Rogersville, N.B. monastery"
This is a terrible thing that I certainly won't try to minimize. I've been away from the news for a few weeks, so I don't know the details about this case. I wonder about the nature of the child pornography itself. For the people who take glee in the downfall of the religious, I wonder if they're aware that child abuse is higher among teachers than priests? I wonder if pornography is also. I also wonder what a lot of upstanding, community-spirited everyday individuals have on their laptops. Things that are never (understandably) part of the court case, but should be part of the media barrage. Anyway, just wondering...
