If it is a reference to an article or his own posts then probably not. Anything else, it depends.

Got anything yet?
Do not badger him.

From this page
there are links to;
Reading that thread, one can see the poster Gamecock refers to, explaining the statement(s).
Those statements, one could make a case for now being mis-characterized to an extent, as stand alone statements. IMO. Yet that does not equate with Gamecock having spun it out of whole cloth.
I would think if one has further trouble with either party, it would be best to take it up with them, on those threads?
Here is some good background on the case. It is important to note that: “A Canadian priest now ministering in Florida says he informed Newfoundland’s leading prelate in 1989 that an abuse victim recounted that he had seen pornography in Bishop Raymond Lahey’s home in 1985”
The article also contains links to other cites that have more on this case. One link is titled: “Bishop porn issue known to N.L. church in 1989 (CBC)”
I am most grateful that this turd on a stick was caught by alert customs officials who noticed his many travels to countries known for child sexual exploitation.
FULL TITLE: Catholic bishop enters custody at Ottawa courthouse after pleading guilty to importing child pornography
And you reply to me has what to do with this news story?
Its not the Protestants, Baptists, Jewish, wiccan, et al, pedophiles fault that a Catholic Bishop did these things.
He has been an ex Bishop since he resigned the day after he was caught. The true tragedy is that he most likely has multiple victims who have not yet come forward.
Unless Gamecock has other thread links backing up his claims at post #2 then resume those arguments on the threads you linked.
I agree.
“Lahey is facing a mandatory minimum sentence of a year in jail, although Crown prosecutors indicated they might seek a longer term.”
Might, might!!??? WTH? Sorry that makes no sense to me. If this guy is the classic pedophile I believe him to be he should never be out of custody.
“To the Catholics who claim that somehow children seduced Priests, how is it possible that inanimate objects seduced a Roman Catholic Bishop.”
We have already shown that this is a false statement.
That Mitre alone should have been a big warning.
Nobody said any such thing. But the truth does not serve their twisted hatred of Catholics.
I am beginning to believe that this horrible sin is deeply embedded in the fabric of the Catholic clergy. It is endemic, pervasive, and goes back decades, if not centuries.
I am a cradle Catholic. I believe in Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in God the Father and his Word (for He can neither deceive nor be deceived), in the Holy Spirit and His gifts and His fruits.
I do not believe in sinful men who allow these crimes against children to go on unabated. I do not believe in the absolute authority of priests, Bishops, Cardinals, or Popes.
I do believe in the sincere good people with whom I worship at Mass every Sunday. I have confidence in their wisdom and sense of justice. I have hope that my Church will be restored from the bottom up; not from the top down.
You forgot infuriating which was my first reaction.
It is an awful, awful disgusting truth and a testament to the depravity some sink to that the sexual exploitation of children is a big business.
Every one of those photos represented a real child who had probably been abused over and over again.
Please pray that Christ comes into their lives. That somehow they are rescued and given the love and hope they so deserve.
I view these vile acts as deadly as any homicide and feel the guilty should suffer the same penalty.
Nobody? not exactly. Such things were said. Judge for yourself.
The problem is not the Catholic Church....it is homosexuality. Homosexuals have an intrinsic disorder because they were abused as young boys and their sexuality perverted through emotional/and/or physical abuse. It is a condition and state of mind that should never be allowed in the Priesthood....but because of the APA who took homosexuality off of their dysfunctional list (through political force, not scientific evidence)....the Catholic Church has been forced to be “lenient” with homosexuals because of political correctness.
Homosexuals have less ability to control their sexual impulses as proven by all stats on child abuse.....homosexuals in the priesthood are the vast majority of all child abuse claims. This looking at sex through their twisted reality, places sexual urges above even their vocation. It should be noted that even the priesthood is not strong enough to curb the homosexual’s desire to recreate the exhilaration of their first seduction.
