	NH GOP Leader Regrets Calling Bishop a ‘pedophile Pimp’ Boston Herald April 4, 2011 http://www.bostonherald.com/news/national/northeast/view/20110404nh_gop_leader_regrets_calling_bishop_a_pedophile_pimp/srvc=home&position=recent CONCORD, N.H. — The Republican leader of the New Hampshire House has asked for a meeting with Roman Catholic Bishop John McCormack to apologize for his choice of words in calling McCormack a "pedophile pimp." State Rep. D.J. Bettencourt of Salem told reporters Monday he has called McCormack but has not received an answer on his request to meet face-to-face. Bettencourt said his comment about McCormack was undiplomatic and inappropriate. He said he still has a strong opinion about McCormack’s role in the clergy abuse sex scandal in the last decade. Before being named bishop of Manchester in 1998, McCormack served as a top aide to Cardinal Bernard Law in Boston, where the Catholic sex abuse scandal began and where he was in charge of investigating sexual misconduct allegations.
