OTTAWA — An Ottawa priest who previously admitted to gambling problems has been charged after an investigation found more than $240,000 in cheques were misappropriated. Joseph LeClair, 55, was charged with one count each of fraud of $5,000 and theft over $5,000. A complaint was filed by the Ottawa Archdiocese in August in relation to concerns about the financial administration at Blessed Sacrament Parish. Police investigations uncovered more than $240,000 in the form of cheques from the parish were misappropriated. Further, more than $160,000 in cash was missing. The investigation covered a review period from Jan. 2006 to May 2011.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
