Okay when I first read this, I was thinking "well you know, if you have a cause, defend it by all means if you honestly think it's the right thing to do. Plus, it's hurting nobody."
Then I find out he's a diddler. Ugh!

So being found guilty of 2 counts of physical abuse of children gets you a day in jail and a $2,500 fine? That by itself is fucked up.

He cares about kids... till they are born.
Shouldn't his "Order of Canada" got taken from him after the charge?

Good! Larre doesn't deserve to be in the same company as a crusader like Dr. Morgentaler. When I saw this is the paper the other day, I was thrilled. Glad it made it on here too.

He had to GIVE back the award? Why didn't they REVOKE it when he was convicted?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a "You can quit or we can fire you" situation. Far better than he deserved, mind you, but that's what I'd imagine what it was. The sour grapes would be his ways of maintaining his self-righteousness.

Larre was sentenced to one day in jail and paid a $2,500 fine for one charge of common assault and one charge that he forced pills down the throat of a teenager to teach her a lesson about drug abuse
Welcome to the Canadian court system. Oh, and I don't think there's ever been a situation where they demanded back an Order of Canada.
And he thinks he's the one with superior morals. I should really head down to the Bosco Centre with a Morgentaler rules sign.

Wow, if I was Dr. Henry Morgentaler, I sure wouldn't want to be associated with the likes of Larre!

Once again a fundie demonstrates that the only lives he cares about are those that are not already born, and those that are he couldn't give a flying monkey's ass about.

How the hell did Larre get named to the OoC?
Ah well, at least it give me hope that I might be awarded the Order one day. I know I can do better for this world than a priest anger issues.

"one charge that he forced pills down the throat of a teenager to teach her a lesson about drug abuse"
I take it these pills were from his personal stash.

Where's this "Coquitlam" place? Sounds like the name of a South American country.

Don't forget, Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973.

So this 'man of god' who abused troubled kids believes himself to be morally superior to a guy who does abortions and supports women's rights? Wow.

Like a lot of Roman Catholic clergy, Father Larre is a huge fucking hypocrite. Maybe we should have protested Father Larre's appointment to the Order of Canada; he is far less deserving of it than Henry Morgentaler, who has paid a serious personal price for his fight to help women secure their rights in Canada. Unfortunately the fundies & some Catholics resent this; it takes power OUT of the hands of a bunch of old churchmen & gives it to women! God forbid!
Thanks for returning the award, Father. You don't DESERVE to be in the company of crusaders like Henry Morgentaler.

When I read the first half I was like "really, look at who you directly associate with, hypocrite"
Then I read the rest and went like "Why the hell aren't these offenders locked up? And if released why are they allowed near children? Not only near children but in a position of authority over children!"
Then I went like "un-fuckin believable travisty of justice and common-sense"

Sounds like he already needed to return the award for other reasons.
