FINALLY, A PRIEST HAVING SEX WITH A WOMAN
AND NOT A BOY!
AND NOT A BOY!
Michelle's Opinion
Read the following story and ponder... Does this not illustrate the point I just made about the need to makes changes in the Catholic church? Let these men marry for crying out loud! Situations like this make Catholics look completely hypocritical and are a laughing stock.
Why should I practice this religion if the leaders aren't practicing what they preach? I have not been to church for many years because of the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church and its so-called moral leaders.
Everytime I see a story like this it just reiterates my wise decision to not participate or be associated with the Catholic religion.
By the way, when I was younger, a Priest in my church back in Wisconsin left the Priesthood so he could marry one of the widows he was counseling for grief after the death of her husband. A couple years later, another favorite Priest suddenly disappeared and no one knew why he left. There were rumors of course.... In fact, people saw him working at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago soon after and he pretended not to know them.

TOP NEW YORK CATHOLIC LEADER RESIGNS AFTER ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH SECRETARY
Associated Press
NEW YORK Aug 12, 2005 — A Roman Catholic monsignor resigned as rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral after being accused of having an affair with a married woman.
Cardinal Edward Egan accepted Msgr. Eugene Clark's resignation Thursday despite the 79-year-old Clark's denials that he has been carrying on an affair with his 46-year-old private secretary, the New York archdiocese said.
"He offered his resignation for the good of Saint Patrick's and the Archdiocese," the church said in a statement. "He will not be celebrating Mass or the sacraments publicly until this matter has been resolved."
Clark has been rector of St. Patrick's in midtown Manhattan since 2001 and has often celebrated Mass there when the cardinal was away. A strong proponent of traditional morality, he blamed the church's sex-abuse scandal in 2002 on "the campaign of liberal America against celibacy."
Clark was named in divorce papers filed last week in Family Court in White Plains by Philip DeFilippo, 46, who claimed that a private investigator taped his wife, Laura, and the monsignor entering and leaving a Long Island hotel last month. The videotape was shown Monday to New York City newspapers.
