	Letters Say Bishop Not Opposed to Transfer of Pedophile Priest WQAD June 3, 2006 http://www.wqad.com/Global/story.asp?S=4983468&nav=1sW7 BELLEVILLE, Ill. Two letters released by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Belleville indicate that a religious order did ask former Bishop Wilton Gregory to allow a priest who sexually abused children to live in Belleville. One of letters indicates that Gregory, who is now the Archbishop of Atlanta, would not oppose the transfer of the Reverend Real Bourque (RAY'-ahl BORK) to a retirement home run by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. But in a telephone interview yesterday with the Belleville News-Democrat, Gregory said that was not his recollection and was not the case. In April, Gregory said he didn't know the Oblates moved Bourque to Belleville.
