I'm shocked that he needed to be told that. Don't know why I'm shocked at the state of affairs of the Churches anymore but this one grabbed me.

Another thing...the fastest way to turn a woman off is to put the Holy Bible in front of your privates. Not cool.

Gads! And to think that once upon a time, all bishops had to worry about was the parish priest being seen dancing (fully clothed) at the village festival...

Talk about defining deviancy down.

yes it is.

some freepers think a thread that's more than a couple of month old is an old thread. I was looking for something else and this story popped up so I figured I should post it as an "eye roller". It is a bit creepy, why would a priest do such a thing? ego? stupidity?

I remember at the time, that it was for charity - but still it's going to far, he was using the Bible to cover his modesty - going way to far!!!!!

Never in a million years did I think that a Catholic Priest, especially an Irish one, would do something like that.

I'm speechless.

I remember the story when it happened - it was around the time the whole naked calender fad started - alright if your a member of the laity - but a priest!?!!?!

And use a Bible for concealment - the Church in Ireland tries too hard to make up for it's past mistakes, that they often appeasse liberalism!!

Thanks for that last link. I wondered what had happened to that story:

TOLEDO -- A new trial date has been set for Father Gerald Robinson, a Toledo priest accused of killing a nun more than 20 years ago. Judge Tom Osowik set what he called a "firm" trial date of April 17, 2006.

Robinson is accused of the 1980 killing of sister Maragaret Ann Pahl. She was found strangled and stabbed inside a chapel at Mercy Hospital Easter weekend of that year. Robinson is currently out on bond.

In addition, Bishop Leonard Blair has put Father Robinson on a leave-of-absence from the Toledo Diocese.
