Words fail me.

To be clear I was a submariner in my youth. I have plenty of words. Age and experience have taught me not to use them without thinking first.

And I’m supposed to confess my sins to that?

The age of consent in Alabama is 16, so I don’t think there was anything illegal. I wouldn’t put him in the pedophile category. If he wasn’t a priest, this wouldn’t be a notable story at all.

Maybe they too got tired of all of the push for queers...

They have a second collection each week to pay the hush money. /s kinda

That’s basically what they were doing in my (former) diocese. I found that out just after they sent the Aux Bishop over to tell us that some of us voted wrong Sunday before the inauguration. I canx’d my monthly allotment and haven’t been back.

Yeah, interesting that it took her 16 years to worry about those children.

Years long and she is now 17? Well, that makes him a pedo, so this will be covered up by the Church. He will go into “counseling” for a year or so and then re-assigned to another parish instead of being excommunicated for having violated his oath of celibacy to his Gawd.

You have it mixed up.   He first met her in the strip bar when she was a 17 year old stripper.   She is now 33.   The overwhelming odds are the woman isn't even Roman Catholic.

I know that sounds funny but as abominably Hellacious this priest’s very deliberate mortal sins are, the one you joke about - absolving an accomplice - would be worse. There’s no evidence he did that, just as there’s no evidence he murdered anyone for the money or to cover it up or done any number of other things that would make this abomination worse than it actually is.

Time to hang up your collar, padre, and get a job at Home Depot. (but good for you it was a girl, and not a boy).
