A Catholic priest assigned to an east Mesa church is among five men arrested by Mesa police in a sting operation that targeted prostitution involving underaged girls.
Mesa police detectives posed as 16-year-old girls and advertised their services on a website known for trading in prostitution.
Police say the men came to a Mesa motel at a predetermined time Thursday to rendezvous with the prostitutes for sex.

Didn’t the Apostle Paul say it was better to marry than to burn? Pray for this man’s soul!

Kind of surprised to see that he’s of “the black persuasion”, as Archie Bunker used to say. I don’t think there are many black Catholic priests in the USA.

Well, at least it’s not a gay prostitution ring . . . some progress is being made within the clergy. /sarc

A lot of the black priests you do see are from Africa. Largely because vocations in Africa are doing really well.

My uncle’s a priest in the Bowery,
He saves fallen women from sin.
He’ll save you a blond for ten dollars,
my God how the money rolls in.

Kind of surprised to see that he’s of “the black persuasion”, as Archie Bunker used to say. I don’t think there are many black Catholic priests in the USA. There aren't:
"About 24% of all Americans identify themselves as Catholic, but in the black community... just 3%, or 3 million Americans, identify themselves as both black and Catholic. Further, just 250 of America's 40,000 priests and only 16 of the 434 bishops in the United States are black."

The Catholic Church is desperate for priests. My parish has one priest that is English-proficient. The others have been from Poland, the Philippines and, I think, Ghana.

Most blacks emanated and often still reside in the low catholic population South

The irony is I watched James Robison who called me down front at a revival in 1968 when I was 10 spend the entire evening soliciting funds for black children in bad shape in Africa
But we have a black African I assume Catholic priest in the US helping himself to younger flesh
Strange

This is the internet: where the men are men, the women are men and the sixteen year old girls are the police.

The age of ‘consent’ in some of those African societies is really low I bet

No lower than in some parts of the US in the previous century. My grandmother was married at the age of 13.
