The reality is that WE as lay Catholics do not “find these guys”, they are perverts first and foremost, who use the Catholic priesthood as both a cover and a facilitator for their prurience.
I suspect that somehow the flock attracts the wolves.....
A few questions come to mind:
What other nude activities does the good priest take part in?
What does this say about his judgement...especially in light of the spotlight being focused on the Church.
Is this the type person that should be tending the flock? Counseling the faithful? Hearing confession?

We believe you, whether we are in agreement with your church or not. We realize that there are some nasty men who do hide behind pulpits. There are DEVILISH men in the “ministry” and the Scriptures told us that there would be such (2 Corinthians chapter 11 — all read, please).
In fact, Satan’s greatest operational theater against all that is true, right and good is not in the barrooms, dance halls, crack houses, and the like. Satan’s favored sphere of operations is in the churches . . . in the leadership of the churches. Satan has “apostles” in the churches.
Yes, we may have our disagreements with the Roman Catholic Church, but men like the subject of this news item are not the cause, and we think no less of Catholic folks because a man so stupid or perverted happened to trained and ordained under RC auspices.
