OTTAWA, August 12, 2002 (LSN.ca) - The Catholic News Service reported this week that Father John M. Huels, vice dean and professor of canon law at St. Paul’s University in Ottawa, has taken a leave of absence and requested laicization after his history of sexually abusing minors was revealed. The story prompted LifeSite to investigate the university’s record with sexually abusive priests since several other prominent abusers were known to have taught at St. Paul’s. Considering this history at St. Paul’s, as well as its reputation as a center of Catholic dissent, there are questions about whether still more scandals at the university have not been resolved because they have not received media attention.
