Abuse charges acknowledged
New Glasgow, Nova Scotia -
A Roman Catholic bishop says the death of a priest accused of sexually abusing 15 minors makes it difficult for the church to defend itself against lawsuits filed by some of the alleged victims. Bishop Raymond Lahey of the diocese of Antigonish issued a "pastoral statement" yesterday to inform parishioners of the church's response to the civil action taken by people who claim to have been victims of the late Hugh Vincent MacDonald. "The diocese, I as its bishop, and its Professional Standards Advisory Committee acknowledge the immeasurable pain and suffering that can be caused by those who abuse their positions of trust as a priest," Lahey wrote.
