By John Walters on Monday, April 29, 2002.

Father Georges de Laire is a parish priest at Our Lady of Lourdes in Pittsfield. He's seen the numbers of priests in decline and some of his friends leave their collars behind. And that was before the sexual abuse scandals hit the news. He talks about how the issue has affected him and his parishioners and reflects on his own views of the profession.
