I don't see how the fact that he is a priest has anything to do with it, after all, non-priests commit these crimes too.

In before anyone else says it.

homosexuality is a sin in Christianity. Do you really need the obvious spelt out to you?

EDIT: and porn - straight or homo- can't put you in God's good books either...

Wooahhh!!! That must have woken up the kids

Shows how hypocritical these two faced bastards really are. Bloody double standards.

I dont think we should be hasty in coming to conclusions. All we know is that the memory stick contained these pornographic images.

He says he has no idea how the images got on the memory stick

Presumably Satan put the images there.

[anonymouspie227]

That's disgusting.

[Lambo_93]

‘approximately 16 indecent images of men’ were shown before the priest removed the USB stick.

Clearly took his time...

[SpicyStrawberry]

Must have been an act of God if he didn't do it, then.

I agree.

'Celibacy is unnatural. All the messengers of God had wives. Why does the Catholic Church insist on this conduct when it causes all these perverted acts to arise? '

Hilarious how the OP blames the Catholic Church foremost and then say it causes the pervertion.

What evidence do they have for this? How can they generalise about a whole religion and millions of people in this way?

People in glass houses and all that....

Funny how half of your posts are about slating Islam and Muslims.

The original article in the Irish News reported that the memory stick was for parish use and that other people had access to it.

can't believe this is on tsr, rofl

See, he should have gone with that excuse in the first place. A sizeable number of religious people would be gullible enough to believe it.

But who was USB?

Humans get sexually aroused and it is a fact. How can someone suppress their sexual desires for a lifetime? That's what I'm saying. Please explain to me why is it that we constantly hear about paedophilic acts being associated with someone in a Church?

Maybe, because they are meant to be celibate due to their religion etc, as you said, so are sexually frustrated so take it out on innocents?

Sounds familiar to me.....

It's just surprising for me because I originally heard about this shortly after it happened when my mum was having a conversation with another priest. Pomeroy is about an hour's journey away from me

coming from an Irish-Catholic family it would be considered sinful for me to say anything about a priest, even a paedophile.

Are you taking the piss? This is absolute nonsense - it's 2012 not 1950.

Hello Marcusfox,

I agree. Many people, regardless of belief in God, struggle with homosexuality and porn, not just some priests.

This priest needs help. Homosexuality is not encouraged or condoned by God. There is a group called Exodus International. Ex-gay people created this group as a support group to help people who believe in God and who believe the Scriptures are true, and who want to be rescued from homosexual inclinations. By God's grace, many people have been rescued from homosexuality and from addiction to porn too.

Here is the website:

http://exodusinternational.org/

I hope this priest "retires" from priesthood and fervently seeks God for rescue from homosexuality and porn.

Peace and God bless

Ex-gay people

rescued from homosexual inclinations

By God's grace, many people have been rescued from homosexuality

I love you fruitloops

you should have made a thread about it, then! Does your mum attend a catholic church?
