Priestly indignation compels clergyman to surrender his 'Order of Canada' (Opinion)

What is the "Order of Canada"? It is generally thought to publicly

"... recognize the lifetime contributions made by Canadians who made a major difference to Canada, as well as the efforts made by non-Canadians who have made the world better by their actions" Source, Wikipedia, via peter.reardon

A recent recipient of this award is Henry Morgentaler, a medical doctor who fought long and hard for the rights of all women to be able to access medical treatment for abortion without the intervention of state laws, or archaic and undemocratic interventions, or the tyranny of male dominated organizations.

On the other hand, Rev. Lucien Larré  received the Order of Canada for his work as spiritual leader and educator.

 As a man of high moral principles Larré  decided that the presentation of the award of the Order of Canada to Dr. Morgantaler's in recognition of his work as a medical practitioner for women's health and reproductive care was not worthy of national recognition and that he, Father Larré:

"... must return his "Order of Canada" because Morgentaler's appointment degrades the award for those who believe in the sanctity of life".  Source CBC, via peter.reardon.

In what way did Rev. Larré contribute to the harmony and trust in the world?  He is reported to have opened "Bosco Homes" in Regina [in Saskatchewan] for the benefit of: 

"... teenagers with emotional troubles and addictions in 1970, drawing praise for his dedication to helping those in need.

His work earned him the Order of Canada in 1983, when he was cited for succeeding "beyond measure in restoring the lost to their rightful place in society."

But in 1992, a Saskatchewan jury convicted him of two counts of physically abusing children in his care at Bosco. 

"He was sentenced to one day in jail and paid a $2,500 fine, but in 1997, the National Parole Board of Canada pardoned him and erased the convictions against him... "  Source: CBC, via peter.reardon

It is common in Canada to find that in the event of a  priest being accused of 'misconduct' , the term is a euphemism for paedophilia. In the case of the clergy this behaviour is not viewed as ant-social by the courts, or, evidently by the church.

 The pain and suffering inflicted by the clergy  on their young victims is ignored.

The 'John Bosco Home' Source: Wikipedia, via peter.reardon type of organizations are commonly found to be "guilty" of  offences towards children in their care, not only across Canada but also in many other countries of the world: not just recently, but over many years.
