Man accused of bringing gas cans to St. Patrick's Cathedral is college professor, was previously arrested at another cathedral
The man who allegedly brought gas cans and lighter fluid into St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City has taught philosophy at different colleges in New York and New Jersey, school officials said.
Marc Lamparello, 37, was arrested on Wednesday night and was charged with attempted arson and reckless endangerment. He was taken into custody after a security guard at the cathedral on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan spotted him.

“...he spent several years on an island with six other castaways...”
Well, he IS a “philosophy professor” after all... you can’t expect him to know how to fix a hole in a boat.... OR make radios out of coconuts...
I assume that little detail didn't come up in the job interview.
Another one of those useless courses that liberals think will change the world.
A grounding in Philosophy is sine qua non for being able to understand Systematic Theology.
He wanted to pray or he wanted to "prey"? Maybe there were lots of little boys in the cathedral at the time.
Seems “the church” is intellectually over-engineered.
Photoshop.
You've been a seminarian?
“His writings — other professors can’t even understand his writings.“
He’s a loon.

Marc, a 37-year old graduate student and lecturer, is suffering from acute academia: too much thinking.
They didn't keep him locked up the first time so he was free to try again. How many other times was he not caught?
Homeschool and trade school seem to be the safe choices these days.
Close, I’m married to one. She would agree. Liberalism had crept into the seminaries by the late 1950s and that bit of leaven has spoiled the whole lump. Compare the pathetic state of the church in the US to that of Communist China. The latter is thriving, the former is mostly a joke. I submit Francis Chan’s Letters to the Church for starters.
I’m talking about everything from mainstream religions to evangelical megachurches. At worst the whole system is an outright perversion of the church as modeled in Acts, at best it’s only a luke-warm facsimile. The cities are strewn with church buildings hanging rainbows for cryin’ out loud and there’s virtually no Christian outrage. Why? Because people have put their faith in the intellectualism of the apostate-church leaders. “Why, they have to be right, they’re ‘theologians, they went to seminary.”
What else besides intellectualism teaches an individual to exalt themselves in robes and costumes and feel like “yeah, this is normal?” Or perform the same rituals week after week and call that “holiness?” Cathedrals and other church buildings were never the intent, which is why, in my opinion, God put an end to the mega-church concept in 70 AD by destroying the temple and leaving no stone upon stone.
Well I’m sure Snake Handlers are not interested in studying Systematic Theology.
Have a wonderful day!
That beard...with the voids under his lower lip...is interesting.
Wonder what his muslim name is...
Read the article. He is a very intelligent devout Catholic who has identity and sexual relationship issues that led to extreme emotional psychological issues.
Typical violent Democrat.
The NJ diocese that owns the college left the Church a long time ago; the current leader’s position on homosexuality from another thread:

This is the guy that inadvertently tweeted out to all: “Nighty-night, baby; I love you”...
The seminary in this diocese was in the news over the past year because of Mr. Theodore MaCarrick’s sexual assaults of adult seminarians.
Sad as it appears that his church betrayed him.
It betrayed all of us.

Bismarck once said something along these lines: If all the questions in philosophy were suddenly answered, nothing would be gained.
