BBB:Bakker Gets The Publicity but not immoral Priests

   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.
