	Suspended Albany Priest Indicted on Child Rape Charges Catholic Culture October 31, 2008 http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=975 Father Gary Mecure, a priest permanently suspended by the Diocese of Albany in August amid child sex-abuse allegations, has been indicted on child rape charges by a Massachusetts grand jury. According to a lawsuit filed in May, Bishop Howard Hubbard was informed in 1994 of a homosexual relationship involving Mecure; the other man in the relationship reportedly showed Bishop Hubbard graphic photographs of a man whose image resembled Mecure. A diocese spokesman said the relationship was a ‘consensual adult relationship,’ and thus Father Mecure remained in parish ministry until 2008.
