	P.E.I. Bishop Shocked Times & Transcript October 3, 2009 http://timestranscript.canadaeast.com/news/article/812316 CHARLOTTETOWN - P.E.I.'s new bishop said this week he was shocked and deeply saddened at the revelation a former Nova Scotia bishop is facing child pornography charges. "Shock is the word that I think appropriately describes my status right now," said Bishop Richard Grecco. "(It's) regrettable, more than sad it's shameful, and I'm worried for the faith of the people because this shakes the faith of everybody, including not only the faithful people but the faithful priests too, who look to their bishops for leadership and now find themselves in a state of shock and questioning and confusion." Grecco was reacting to news which surfaced late Wednesday that former Antigonish bishop Raymond Lahey is facing charges of possessing and importing child pornography. The 69-year-old priest was charged after officials found images of "concern" on his laptop computer at the Ottawa airport as he was returning from the United States. "This comes as a total surprise."
