HORNY PRIEST ARRESTED...NOT SUPRISED, HUH?

First of all, I am Catholic, so I think I have the right to voice my opinion on this subject. The Catholic church is going to have start making some changes because more and more people are coming out of the woodwork alleging that their childhood priest molested them. Now we have situations such as this, where a man is so desperate that he has to find sex in a public bathroom.

Let these men marry or have some sort of sexual outlet for themselves. They are not Jesus or God. They are real human beings with the same thoughts and desires as the rest of us.

In addition, I am angry at the Catholic church because they have been preaching to me since I was a child against all the things they do secretly behind our backs. How hypocritical is that?

At least I know that I am for sure going to heaven if these priests keep doing shit like this.


Priest arrested in Southern Indiana
Undercover Sex Sting

NEWBURGH, Ind. — Police officers arrested nine men, including a Roman Catholic priest, during an undercover operation at a public bathroom in a park overlooking the Ohio River.

The Rev. Ralph E. Patterson, 47, associate pastor at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in nearby Henderson, Ky., was among eight men arrested last week by undercover officers. A ninth man was arrested Tuesday on a charge of public indecency.

Five of the men, including Patterson, were charged with public indecency and four with battery. The men charged with battery touched the undercover officers in a sexual manner, said Warrick County Sheriff Marvin Heilman.

Heilman said Newburgh Locks and Dam Overlook has become a destination for men seeking sex with other men, but the problem has grown out of control.

“It’s meant to be a wonderful place for people to enjoy with families. Unfortunately, it’s grown into a place I certainly wouldn’t ... want to take my family,” Heilman said.

A telephone message seeking comment from Patterson was left today at the church rectory.

The Rev. Ed Bradley of Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church said Patterson has been relieved of his duties until the investigation was completed. Bradley said he did not expect Patterson to return to Holy Name parish.

“He has been in all kinds of work, and he has never had any kind of accusation that would make you think he is in any way not suitable for priesthood,” Bradley said.
