- Bakker Gets The Publicity
-
- One of the great news media fads these days is making much over people
- like Bakker and Swaggart, and quietly pushing Roman Catholic
- transgressions under the rug. This is to be expected from a solidly
- pro-Roman Catholic press, and you wouldn't expect anything else.
- Occasionally, however, something gets out on the second or third page
- in a foreign newspaper that CBS and NBC simply fail to pick up.
-
- We cite from The Gazette, Montreal, Thursday, Jan. 23, 1990.
- "Vancouver--Roman Catholic priest Luke Meunier, recently ordered
- extradited from Florida to British Columbia to face child molestation
- charges, has died in the Florida prison. He was to face seven charges
- in British Columbia."
-
- Second item, "St. Paul--Bishop Raymond Roy said a Roman Catholic
- priest in the northern Elberta community of St. Paul has been removed
- from his parish for alleged misconduct involving youths. The priest
- is the third in the St. Paul diocese to face allegations in the past
- year." The moral lesson is clear, if you fornicate with young men and
- molest little children, you won't have to worry about bad publicity,
- provided you are a Roman Catholic. If you are a "Charismatic," that
- is something different .
