	Bernard Prince Dismissed from Catholic Church Guilty of Sexual Misconduct, Former Monsignor in Pentitenary By Debbie Robinson Daily Observer August 24, 2009 http://www.thedailyobserver.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1713293 Bernard Prince, the Roman Catholic priest who was found guilty of sexual misconduct, has been dismissed from the Catholic Church. In January 2008 Prince, at that time a monsignor, was found guilty of sexual misconduct. He is currently serving a four-year sentence in a federal penitentiary. The Diocese of Pembroke was advised that on May 4, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a decree conveying and executing the decision of the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, in which Bernard Prince of the Diocese of Pembroke has been dismissed from the clerical state and dispensed from all priestly obligations. The decree indicated that there is no appeal of this decision. This notification is being issued to provide clarity regarding the canonical status of Bernard Prince. More details to follow.
