I was just going to look for some of those Airplane memes!
Your priests ask you to describe masturbating to him?
You need to get away from that pit of hell.
This priest and all the other Roman Catholic priests that have been caught molesting boys have nothing at all to do with Jesus Christ.
He's asking little boys to describe masturbating and watching porn.
He's bad.
No one is holy, except for God and his son Jesus Christ.
I see two possibilities, here:
1) You have not read the article. In which case, you speak from ignorance. That's curable: READ THE ARTICLE.
2) You have read the article, and you are knowingly posting falsehoods. That's inexcusable.
Which is it?
I’m happy with St. Thomas Aquinus who defines holiness as that virtue by which a man’s mind applies itself and all its acts to God.
I remember it going like this at the base chapel:
ME: “I hit my sister...I didn’t make my bed...I killed a lizard...I said a cussword...”
PRIEST: “Oh...er...what word did you say?”
ME: “Shit.”
PRIEST: “Mmmm. Okay. That’s it?
ME: “Umm...I uh, set fire to the woods the day before yesterday. We were using those special matches that you can light on anything, trying to burn some circles in the grass with matches, and it got out of control and the whole field caught on fire...the fire trucks came, and we ran away...they are still looking for whoever did it. I lost my glasses when we were trying to stamp it out, and was too afraid to go back and find them. My parents are really mad about me losing my glasses. I lied to them too about how I lost them. I told them I fell of the rocks down near the ocean. My dad is the XO, and If they found out I set that field on fire, I’m gonna get the belt for sure.”
PRIEST: “Really? Ahh...well, say four ‘Our Father’s and five “Hail Mary’s. Go forth and sin no more. And don’t play with those matches any more.”
I imagine listening to kids must cause them to have to stifle snickers and laughter on the other side of the screen on occasion...I was always trying to tell which chaplain it was by the sound of his voice, because no matter how I tried, I could never see through that screen!
I think the point he is trying to make is that not all Catholic Priests are homosexual child molesters.
When we were kids, we weren’t swimming in a pornographic cultural sewer. I do not envy today’s young ‘uns.

(None, IMO)
He was dead accurate and not a liar. The Vatican cult calls him that, but he was defended by honest Abe himself.
He was asking them if they had committed these sins, not to describe in detail what they had done. He could have just been going down an examination of conscience that was meant for adults. From one such examination of conscience that is available on line:
If this is all this was it would show a lack of good judgment rather than malicious intent. Such an examination of conscience should be left to the penitent, even among adults.Sixth & Ninth Commandments

Me neither. I would not want to grow up today. You can’t be a kid.
Why would you give these men access to your children?
If he was only reviewing an examination of conscience then he was merely trying to help the penitent make a good confession, not seeking prurient information. It would still be inappropriate and show a major lack of judgment by the priest but should not be characterized as something that it is not. And to suggest that Catholic priests in general are a threat to children is a gross violation against charity.
No, and frankly that comment is absurd.
How many millions has the Roman Carholic Church paid out in just the past 20 years because of the homosexuals in the priesthood raping little boys?
Don’t tell me your church doesn’t have a problem.
Yes, the Catholic Church has had its problems, as have all churches. But let us not pretend that they are greater or more widespread in the Catholic Church than elsewhere. Attempting to use the crimes of very few priests to imply that they are common to the general population of priests is false and betrays an ugly prejudice. The last time that I looked, “Thou shalt not bear false witness” was still one of the Commandments.
It’s not “very few.” It’s quite a lot of perverted sodomite priests preying on little boys.
The filth of the pervasiveness should be abhorrent to you and any decent person.
