Father Kevin Molloy says he also confronted Bishop Lahey about his pornography. “It was 20 years ago, over 20 years ago, that I had spoke to him on the very topic of pornography and I was appalled to realize obviously my message didn't get through to him,” he said.

Bishop Raymond Lahey was ordained Bishop of St. George’s (Newfoundland) in 1986 and transferred to the Diocese of Antigonish (Nova Scotia) in 2002. Newfoundland’s leading prelate in 1989-- Archbishop Alphonsus Penney of Saint John’s-- resigned from his position in 1991 at the age of 66.
