The Ten Commandments can be followed on a day to day basis. That should be enough for anyone. That and prayer.

"If he was under the influence of alcohol, it could help explain why he would leave the scene."

. . .think it a very safe assumption; that alcohol was dulling his reality. . .think it would have better, actually, if he had been 'found' inebriated.

As it has for so many others in the Church. . .the Liberal agenda took serious root in 'Father O'Brien'. . .

I am, of course, guessing about Egan and Mahoney, but these two have been the biggest stonewallers against the Lay Review Board.

Now, to this old Texas boy, a man who hides something usually has something to hide.

I had high hopes for Egan, until I heard his dreadful, emotionless homilies at the funerals and Masses after 9/11.

He's a CEO, not a shepherd of Christ.

Now, who in the press or law enforcement is going to come up with the evidence that we have at least three queer cardinals in the USA?

If I remember correctly, it was McCarrick of DC who was threatened to be "outed" last year in the NY Post right before the Dallas conference. What about him, Sinky? Is he a homo or not?

Does anybody know whether the perp is spending the night in county? Or did the church bail him out? Sure would like to go to sleep tonight knowing this punk is sleeping in a bunk in county.

arpayooo is in trouble.

one of his flunkees, a man who was apparently, FRAMED in order to get arpayoo publicity, and who was imprisoned for four years, has been found innocent, on new evidence that apparently points to you know who...

IF I understand, there is now a prosecuting attorney involved, in the investigation and there is also now scheduled a civil trial for the good (or not so good) sheriff that promises to put maricopa county, and criminal justice in an entirely new light... coupel that with napolitano and her arm twisting to rename piestawa peak for political gain and the questionable violation of lobbying paid employees to overturn the law for her pet project... and we have the scenario for three of four years of
ARIZONIE fireworks that should be in the news nationwide...

scandals are us...

After nearly being indicted for conspiracy, this guy's head is obviously messed up, and Rome should relieve him, no matter what the outcome of these charges are

His only chance of avoiding jail time is if he comes out and says he molested some boys. Then he'll go free.

My "gaydar" says no. The NY Post wouldn't sit on a bombshell like that, if it had any proof.

roflmao.... nice post.

I love it.
Luther of course called the book of James, "the epistle of straw" made to be taken to the fire an burned, along with the book of Hebrews...

The other day there was a freeper article on state mottos....
Utah's motto was offered; "our Jesus is BETTER than YOUR Jesus!"
irreverent, hilarious, and spot on.

It made me think regarding your comment... "My bible is better than YOUR bible... has to be, it's got more books... heh heh..."

Denigrating me is fine; I refuse to sit back and let them denigrate my faith.


No one is denigrating YOUR personal faith. However, YOUR church's leadership, seems to be doing a rather fine of job of denigrating the fallible, human components of the organization rather wickedly themselves...

Please accept my apologies.

Accepted. I thought about offering to make it smaller for you but didn't feel like messing with it tonight.

uh oh... any gay bars in that part of town?
YOU may be on to something there.

If he was, it will be on Channel Five in the next two weeks or so...

Drinking? Driving? Picking up a male associate or dropping him off?
The rumors are going to be flying over this... and somebody is probably already talking to the police. I guarandamntee you that the distric attorney who the bishop was defying and attacking in the media this week...

Will be dedicating a LOT of manppowe to the kind of scenarios you just brought up...

Do you realize how easy it is to be condemned and removed by your local church and move cross country and start a "new" church? Just wondering.
