ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP CHARGED WITH SELLING KIDDIE PORN

The Abomination in the Temple

A Canadian Roman Catholic bishop has been charged with the distribution and selling of child pornography after a random search of his laptop at the Ottawa airport, a police source confirmed to the press.

His Eminence Raymond Lahey, 69, was returning to Canada from the United States when Canadian Border Services Agency officials found images on his computer.

Bishop Lahey resigned from governing the diocese of Antigonish, Nova Scotia last weekend. In his letter to his flock, the Bishop said that he needed time for "personal renewal.”

In August, Bishop Lahey offered the victims and their families apologies on behalf of the Church and said he "hoped to never again have to deal with such reprehensible behavior."

The Canadian bishop is best known for having brokered a landmark 13-million Canadian dollar (12 million US) settlement with people who claimed to have been sexually abused by priests in the diocese dating back to 1950.

He’s resigning to spend more time with his attorneys.

I guess if I ever want to take a laptop on a trip with me, I’ll be better off mailing it.

What’s so surprising? Isn’t most of the mafia Catholic? Not surprising, but sadly sobering IMHO.

Another fag in the priesthood, being sorted out. Still some work to do, but it’s happening. Out with all fags.

And to think this stuff used to be legal all across Europe in the 80s.

Not defending him, obviously, but this police state intrusion may be a worse offense to me.

I guess we’ve become immune to this sort of thing...I doubt MSNBC will be carrying this story.

Horse whipping is too good. I was thinking flogging, but this perv might enjoy it.
What about just death for all child diddlers? Since they took the innonece of children, it is only fair to take their lives.

Yea, I’m fine with that.
Give the good bishop a chance at a last confession and then hang him in the public square.

I’d be willing to bet real money that the child pornography involves only little boys.
Pedophilia, in this case, is likely just part of the real problem-homosexuality.
Intrinsically disordered men have no business being priests-period. This Roman Catholic would rather see the Church purged of ALL homosexuals- even if it meant 1 priest left per continent on the planet.

“The floors of hell are paved with the skulls of bishops.”

Old Catholic proverb.

Thank God he was caught, even if it happened in a roundabout way.

I hope he goes to prison.

Talk about something being missing.

A) Since when do Border Agents just start going through files on a laptop?

B) Since when do laptop files indicate intent to or actual sales?

There's a whole lot missing to this story... like a long term undercover criminal investigation or a string operation.

Uhh, for someone who terms himself "Loving servant of the Lord Jesus Christ" maybe you should "Judge not, lest ye be judged". (Matthew)

Sometimes it seems that anti-Catholicism by a few on FreeRepublic approaches that of the Daily Kos.

Canada. In Canada the police don't need probable cause to pull you over. If a cop doesn't like facial hair, he can pull you over and check your papers.

From The Guardian, May, 2008

Taking your laptop into the US? Be sure to hide all your data first

* The Guardian, Thursday 15 May 2008

Last month a US court ruled that border agents can search your laptop, or any other electronic device, when you’re entering the country. They can take your computer and download its entire contents, or keep it for several days. Customs and Border Patrol has not published any rules regarding this practice, and I and others have written a letter to Congress urging it to investigate and regulate this practice.
