BREAUX BRIDGE — A local Catholic priest, charged with 500 counts of
possession of child pornography this week, sent word to his parish that
he is sorry for his actions and for the pain and embarrassment he caused
his church and diocese.
The Most Rev. J. Douglas Deshotel, bishop of Lafayette, passed along those regrets from the Rev. F. David Broussard, placed on leave at St. Bernard Roman Catholic Church, during Dehotel's brief homily at the 4 p.m. Saturday Mass at that downtown church. About 300 parishioners, virtually a full house, pressed into the parish hall where Mass was offered. The church building itself is closed for remodeling.
