Cornwall Public Inquiry

Bishop to issue apology today

Cornwall Standard Freeholder

It is a moment long awaited by victims abused by local priests.

 

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall will be making a formal apology today at the Cornwall Public Inquiry, said its lawyer, David Sheriff-Scott.

 

Diocese Bishop Paul André Durocher will use the opportunity to apologize while appearing as a witness at the inquiry, being held at the Weave Shed.

 

Several priests and diocesan lay persons have been convicted or were charged with sex abuse against minors from incidents that occurred over the past several decades.

 Durocher's contrition follows on the heels of an apology from his predecessor, Eugene LaRocque.(For more Inquiry news, see Page 3.) Article ID# 1182542

Apologies for what Mr. Sherriff-Scott? Is an apology an "admission"?

Nope jimbo in Canada an appology is not an admission of guilt, look it up it is to aid in the healing process or something like that.

I can't understand why these Bishops-both of them- are not in jail for obstruction of justice. They have admitted that they knew that these abuses were going on and protected the abusers! I hope they burn in HELL!

this is not a trial it is a inquiry. If you want them jailed then you must take them to court

Desperate people will take desperate measures to ensure the secret remains a secret.“Dumb and Dumber”, or is it a veiled attempt to influence and shape public opinion?

“Itinerant” and “2sides”, the “one-two”, “one-two”. The “tag team”. One rarely “posts” without the other. They have been posting on this site since “the get go”. Rarely are their posts of any real substance; more often they ridicule the writings of others, but always, they have a direct, comment, challenging opposing viewpoints.

As if no one else is allowed to express an opposing opinion, without ridicule from these two. How typically Cornwall.

Readers, during my residency in Cornwall, Ontario, CANADA, I witnessed these characteristics as typical day to day behaviours, being displayed by many of the “senior” business people, religious people, justice system people including police, political people and other prominent citizens and their loyal, obedient servants.

These are typical abusive and controlling behaviours, displayed by the “powers that be” and their surrogates, to maintain “power and control”.

“Itinerant” and “2sides”; wouldn’t it be lovely if the readers could read your posts over the past several months, to really form an opinion on “who” you are? In fact, if they could only read all the posts we, who have been posting for some time, have contributed, including the messages to/from each other. I’m certain the readers, especially the new one’s would most likely conclude, you two are either idiots or complicit to this whole sordid affair and trying desperately to influence readers through your intimidation and veiled implications, while at the same time, trying to present yourselves as law abiding, open-minded people. Again, how typical of the Cornwall “selected”, blind followers.

I mean are you two, “Claud Hopper” and “Father Baloney?”

What are you two going to do when this inquiry wraps up and when Perry is “long gone”… out of the picture? You and Cornwall will be just the same as it always was and will be. And, the same old, same old “good old boys” will get the government dollars that will flow into the city, temporarily, trying to “put on a new face”. However, if “nothing changes, then, nothing changes”. Just more dollars for the controlling, autocratic and medieval thinking, prominent citizens of Cornwall and their blind followers….yes, looks good for you two.
