Subject: RE: BS: At last a Pope talks some sense
Last year, a Canadian Catholic Bishop was charged by the Canadian Mounties (RCMP) with importing child pornography into Canaada on his laptop computer. This same bishop had negotiated settlements for the Church for decades of priest sexual abuse, which the parishoners are to pay...and yes, he offered an appology on behalf of the RC church.

The investigation comes following comments by some men — who as youth were abused by Christian Brothers in St. John's Mount Cashel orphanage decades ago — who say they told police they saw child pornography in the home of this bishop in the 1980s.
He has yet to be tried of the charges.
