That didn't take long! Pembroke Bishop releases press statement that has been disputed in the NYT within an hour!

Taken from NYT website. Click on the title to read the entire NYT story.

In its statement, the Pembroke diocese said the victim ''was encouraged to refer the allegations to the civil authorities'' in accordance with Canadian church protocols, but ''his decision at the time was not to do so.''

However, the victim in a response to the diocese's statement e-mailed to The Associated Press disputed its account.

''At no point in my meetings with the diocese did they encourage me to call the police,'' he said. ''At no point did they offer to call the police on my behalf.'' The victim said that Windle never attended any meetings with him and church officials at the time.
