Forlorne Greene: These events wouldn't happen if only we let God into our churches children.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I say.

Mr. Gambini, what is a yute?

Now that's what I call multitasking.

What would a priest want to stick up my butt?

Cliche

I find it more and more difficult to snark about Catholic child molesters. Will they ever clean up their act? Can they?

Is anyone actually shocked or surprised by this?

hammettman: Obvious tag on sabbatical?

First thing I thought of. Catholic priest? Of course he's a sicko. Aren't they all?

 

The Catholic Boaaat...
's gonna be headin' on out today.
The Catholic Boaaat...
Time to throw all of your cares away.
Get some hot Chrisitan action,
It'll make you-

MaudlinMutantMollusk: microdome: "Calls placed to Kokesch's home were not answered."


Well, he's in jail and as a Catholic Bishop he's not married, who did they expect to answer?

Nun of the above?

This is not getting nearly enough love

So what's the problem? They both involve young people.

GIS for "Pedo Bear Priest" turns up the darndest things....

Obvious tag would have worked as well.

Another shout-out for [obvious] tag here.

Can't these horny priests just fark each other and leave the kids alone?

"You've got to be kidding, I don't believe that at all,".

THAT is why you fail.

JohnAnnArbor: Deacon != priest.

But apparently still part of the clergy.

When you have an influential member of the church who says that the priests are actually the victims of seduction I'm going with 'not bloody likely'

Quantum Apostrophe: Armed guards in every church. It's the only way.

I thought nuke it from orbit was the only way?

JohnAnnArbor: Deacon != priest.

So that makes this all OK then, eh?

Oh dear. I remember Catholic Youth Day far too well - all those young Catholics walking in traffic on their way up to Downsview Park - they were in danger from the cars. They were up at Yonge/Eglinton trying to convert people. Mission work in the wilds of Toronto, right?

So it turns out they were also in grave danger from their organizer. Wow, what a shock.

According to the article, some fish.

Only another pedo would think the young boys were doing the seducing of helpless priests. Like the incident where some crazy bastard accused of having his way with a dog said the dog had seduced him by walking sexy.

Hey, that was a real thing that an actual guy said. It was completely insane

The fact that he's in jail instead of being quietly shuffled off to another post indicates that maybe some in the Catholic Church have at least learned the concept of damage control.

it's worth noting that the information leading to his arrest doesn't appear to have come from church leadership.

We need to do something about these high capacity priests.

Evidence. It's all about the evidence.

It's not his fault.

The Devil made him do it.
