Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
24 October, 2009
Archbishop Mancini (Halifax & Apostolic Administrator of Antingonish & Yarmouth)
Archbishop Anthony Mancini distributed a letter to the Catholic communities in Nova Scotia in the wake of the Bishop Raymond Lahey child pornography scandal. It is an excellent example of a Bishop directly, powerfully, and personally confronting the most important issue facing the Canadian Catholic Church today: the erosion of faith and moral suasion in the Church due to the malfeasance (sexual and other) of its' clergy. I offer to you a link which will bring you to this letter for your consideration.
