Father Howard Chabot‘s court date has been adjourned to 01 October 2013: 9 am, courtroom #1, Pembroke, Ontario courthouse.
Father Chabot was in the courtroom, accompanied by a large number of supporters – at least 20, and at least two of whom were priests (wearing their collars). Father Proulx was also present, but he sat apart from the Father Chabot contingent.
On the heels of the news I’ve been receiving from Pembroke I was not at all surprised at the show of support. Several sources told me that the local Knights of Columbus has now become involved and was sending out emails conveying the message that Father Chabot has said he has a clear conscience and asking for prayers for himself and the complainant.
I had difficulty with that. I don’t believe the Knights should allow themselves to be used in a situation such as this. I don’t know about others, but I see that as being used. Granted, there was an option, was there not? Every adult is capable of saying “no.”
