	Lahey Being Tried in Court of Public Opinion, Critics Say By Oliver Moore The Globe and Mail October 8, 2009 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/lahey-being-tried-in-court-of-public-opinion-critics-say/article1316308/ The arrest of former bishop Raymond Lahey, 69, on child-pornography charges has provoked a passionate and at times anguished response from church leaders. But there has also been criticism that he is being tried in the court of public opinion, with his every appearance drawing journalists. Several were on hand yesterday as Father Lahey reported to a small-town RCMP detachment south of Miramichi, N.B., trailing him on a circuitous route to a residence run by the Congregation of Holy Cross in Moncton. Andre Richard, the Archbishop of Moncton, bristled when asked what Father Lahey had been doing at the facility. "Why do you want to know?" he asked a reporter. "It's not the public's business where I live or where he lives. You would not divulge where you live. Goodbye." Two residents said later that Father Lahey was not staying there. Father Lahey was arrested after the contents of his laptop raised concerns with border agents at the Ottawa airport.
