THE GLOBE AND MAIL: A Roman Catholic bishop who was convicted of importing child pornography into Canada has been stripped of his clerical duties.
The Holy See in Rome has dismissed Raymond Lahey from the clerical state in what is one of the most serious penalties that the Roman Catholic Church can impose, the Diocese of Antigonish, N.S., said Wednesday.
The decision means Mr. Lahey, a former bishop of Antigonish, can no longer work as a cleric nor preside at any religious services or sacraments. » | ANTIGONISH, N.S.— The Canadian Press | Wednesday, May 16, 2012
