This is great, not only does the hierarchy refuse to get rid of Poofter Pedophile priests, but they can't even tell real priests from fake priests! Where are the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence?

Guess they got a bit suspicious, when it came time to take up the collection, and the imposter hollered: " Dominie go frisk 'em ! "

Poor guy. His mistake was in the type of crime he was doing. Had he just been molesting, he could still be at it, somewhere.

Family obligations once obliged me to visit a nunnery which hosted a "visiting nun." With my historical bent, I began asking her questions, which she couldn't answer. An alert mother superior picked up on this, and made enquiries. As it turned out, she was a complete fraud, travelling the South West, and its barrios in particular, with a madonna, talking of miracles, and banking the money. Charges weren't pressed, but she's since left the state. Permanently.
