DAK is this GODs work? Priest claims he was punished for reporting pedophile priest to police Associated Press Saturday, March 23, 2002 AMHERST, Mass. - A Roman Catholic priest claims that the Diocese of Springfield ousted him as pastor after he reported to police that a priest convicted of child molestation was lurking around his church. The Rev. Bruce Teague told a Boston newspaper that in 1997, he informed the diocese that the Rev. Richard Lavigne, who was convicted of sexual abuse in 1992, had been hanging around St. Brigid Church in downtown Amherst. When he heard nothing back from the diocese, he said, he told the Amherst police, who issued a trespass order, threatening the child molester with arrest if he came back. Teague said he was reprimanded for taking the matter outside of the church and was ultimately stripped of his position as pastor. ``I thought I was doing the right thing, to protect the children,'' Teague told the paper. ``They (diocese officials) were unhappy with me. I was a whistle-blower, and people got mad at me.'' Teague's story surfaced following Springfield Bishop Thomas Dupre's repeated claims that the diocese is ahead of others in handling pedophilia. While the Archdiocese of Boston grapples with revelations that it routinely protected priests accused of sexual abusing children and minors, Dupre has said that his diocese's creation of a special commission in 1993 has placed it ahead of the curve. In a statement handed out in the diocese's 127 parishes last month, Dupre said, ``Thanks to that initiative, we are in a relatively good position.'' The commission was created after Lavigne's 1992 conviction. He pleaded guilty to indecent assault and battery of a child and was placed on 10 years probation. The diocese ordered Lavigne never to engage in priestly activity again, but he was not defrocked and he remains on the payroll. Diocesan spokesman Michael Graziano told the paper that the diocese is required by canon law to pay Lavigne a stipend, but could not say why Lavigne had not been defrocked. The diocese did not immediately return phone calls Saturday regarding Teague's claims. The diocese has previously confirmed that it removed six priests from parish work for sexual abuse over the last decade. Copyright 2001 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
