Fr. Brian Boucher, a priest of the Archdiocese of Montreal, was handed a guilty verdict on January 8, 2019.

Pope Francis’ “wish for a happy Christmas” is a “wish for fraternity,” he said during his Christmas Urbi et Orbi message. To those physically present in St Peter’s Square and to all joining through the media, the Pope renewed the angel’s song: “Glory to God in the highest”… and invited all to “halt in wonder” as the shepherds did and to silently “fall to our knees and worship”.
