MONTREAL – Quebec City’s Catholic Diocese pleaded Thursday for reporters to not help ruin Cardinal Marc Ouellet’s chances of becoming the next pope.
Diocese spokesman Jasmin Lemieux-Lefebvre said recent media reports have sullied Ouellet’s name and unfairly associated the cardinal with his brother, a convicted pedophile.
“Ouellet’s brother has paid his debt to society after he committed the abuse,” Lemieux-Lefebvre said to reporters in Quebec City.
“I am speaking to the conscience of communication professionals, to please not associate Ouellet to his brother as if it were a stain on the cardinal’s record.”
