ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — An archbishop in Newfoundland says his church is committed to ensuring a safe environment for its parishioners.
Martin Currie’s comments come just days after disgraced Roman Catholic bishop Raymond Lahey was sentenced for possessing child pornography.
Currie, the archbishop of St. John’s, says the church has a thorough screening process and is committed to making sure its officials are not involved in crimes like Lahey’s again.
Currie is asking church members to stand against “all that harms or degrades human beings,” and reiterated Lahey’s impending removal from the clerical state.
