This is not the first time Krawczyk has been associated with an incident involving alcohol. In 1986, the parents of an 18-year-old college student made a complaint to the diocese while Krawczyk was pastor at Our Lady of Joy in Plum.

What religion is this?

Gaines had a blood-alcohol level of 0.166 when he was brought to Mercy Hospital. Gaines would have likely consumed at least seven drinks in a relatively short time to become so intoxicated.

More likely 12 beers minimum. A guy gets drunk and does something real stupid. This shouldn't be news, but a church is involved. The whole article is about bashing religion. Make this story about 3 drunk gays and a school teacher and it would never see the light of day.
