The Archbishop of Halifax says the church has had enough of charges of sexual abuse and impropriety.

Just days after a former Nova Scotia Bishop was charged in Ottawa with possession and importation of child pornography, Archbishop Anthony Mancini issued an impassioned plea to parishioners to keep the faith.

"Like you, my heart is broken, my mind is confused, my body hurts and I have moved in and out of a variety of feelings, especially shame and frustration," Mancini said on Sunday.

The Archbishop called on parishioners to understand that priests are people and should be entitled to forgiveness.

Bishop Raymond Lahey was charged last week with importing and possessing child pornography. He will appear in court again on November 4th.
