| McCormack Return to index of stories... |
Bishop John McCormack released a statement on Friday in response to media coverage surrounding his service in the Archdiocese of Boston and its dealings with a priest accused of sexually abusing children. He said "I did not know about any sexual misconduct with a minor by Paul Shanley until 1993. When I did learn of a problem, I notified the chancellor of the Diocese of San Bernadino and Father Shanley." He also added ". I communicated with him regarding his misconduct in accordance with archdiocean policy." "At all times, even though I was disturbed by what he had said and done, I treated him with the same pastoral repsect that I do for all people to whom I minister. I feel I was firm while still at the same time kind." Bishop Mccormack went on to say that "It is time for the healing to begin." and he is doing everything to make that happen. Bishop McCormack says he is reviewing his work from Boston and will provide a more thorough response within ten days. |

| McCormack Return to index of stories... |
-- Manchester Bishop John McCormack is one of five Roman Catholic bishops on a committee developing the church's national response to the growing sex abuse crisis. He's also one of two committee members accused in lawsuits of helping protect priests who molest children. McCormack is chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee on Sex Abuse of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. He's accused in Massachusetts lawsuits of knowing priests were abusing boys and failing to intervene, and of playing a role in shuffling offenders between parishes. Another committee member, Bishop John Gaydos of Jefferson City, Missouri, is accused of conspiring to cover up molestation in his state. McCormack's spokesman says the bishop has no plans to step down from the committee. |
| Pork Barrel Spending Return to index of stories... |
New Hampshire ranks eleventh in pork-barrel spending. That's according to a study done by the Citizens Against Government Waste watch-dog group. They say that Congress approved nearly 100 million in pork-barrel spending for the granite state, an increase of 35 million from last year. The report attributes the high ranking to the fact that Congressman John Sununu and Senator Judd Gregg serve on appropriations committees. Sununu and Gregg both say the money went to worthy causes. |
