Retired Catholic priest Edward Sedevic is facing seven charges relating to the possession of child abuse material.

A retired Catholic priest on the New South Wales central coast remains on strict bail conditions after being linked to a major global child pornography ring.

Edward Sedevic, 72, from Lakehaven is facing seven charges relating to the possession of child abuse material.

He was arrested in August after police allegedly discovered two movie files and four DVDs at his retirement home.

Two weeks ago, it was alleged the former Sydney parish priest was one of 66 Australians implicated in a Canadian child sex abuse ring, which was smashed by authorities.

He briefly faced Wyong Local Court on Wednesday and was accompanied by a small group of supporters.

Police documents reveal he is on strict bail conditions which prohibit him from having any access to the internet or being near anyone under the age of 18.

The matter has been adjourned to Sydney's Central Local Court on December 18.
