A Roman Catholic diocese in Nova Scotia is trying to connect with people who may have been abused by clergy, or otherwise hurt by the church.
The Diocese of Antigonish is holding a series of meetings, beginning Tuesday night, in the wake of a sexual abuse scandal.
Three years ago, the diocese reached a landmark settlement with victims of sexual abuse by priests.
Soon after that settlement was announced, then-bishop Raymond Lahey was charged with possessing and importing child pornography. He was later convicted, sentenced to time served, and defrocked by the Holy See in Rome.
Bishop Brian Dunn said these public meetings will try to address the anger and hurt that’s still out there.
