Father Luke Seguna, 39, of Marsaxlokk, Malta, allegedly spent nearly €150,000 of his parish’s money on live sex shows websites (TimesOfMalta.com, August 19).
He now faces accusations of fraud and money laundering. His legal defence insisted that the money spent was given "to him personally" while the prosecution says he misappropriated some €500,000 - intended for the Church and donated by parishioners over a ten-year span.
Seguna allegedly admitted having struggled with a “sexual crisis” triggered by a major health problem at the time. He denies any wrongdoing and is pleading not guilty.

If it was gay porn it Sounds like he’s Vatican material.
Does the Poope get his cut?
Probably. He is doing his best to turn the Roman Church into The Church of the Current Thing.
John Roberts often vacations in Malta. Is this the kind of dirt the DS may have on him?
Doesn’t Justice Roberts hang out in Malta? Wonder if this priest is his friend?
A priest who is supposed to be celibate has a “sexual crisis”?
“But the pervert priest doesn’t offer the Traditional Latin Mass, so he is AOK in Frankenchurch.”
Who said he’s OK in the Church? This only came out yesterday. Plenty of perverted priests in the SSPX also. Church Militant has documented it.
“A priest who is supposed to be celibate has a ‘sexual crisis’?”
A priest is a human being, not a robot. All are subjected to temptation on this earth and can fall. Though I think more is going on with this guy than a “health crisis”. Men who can’t live the celibate life by Grace shouldn’t be admitted to the seminary.
What about the associate of John MacArthur at Grace Community Church, David Gray? He was convicted of aggravated child molestation, corporal injury to a child, and child abuse in 2005 and is still in prison. Seems like he was going through a “sexual crisis”.
And the key is “still in prison”.
It’s totally unrealistic to expect that any place is always going to be free of sexual predators. They will get in where they have access to victims and many of them are very good at hiding what they are doing.q
The issue is what happens to them when caught.
The correct response is charged, convicted, jail, credentials stripped, etc.
The incorrect response is “moved to another parish” to protect him and not telling the new congregation of the problem and threatening the victims and families to not talk.
That said, a health issue that caused a sexual crisis is only going to cause a “crisis” if the individual is NOT celibate and doesn’t want to be.
Church Militant with Nazi Niles??? You've got to be kidding!! They're currently settling a defamation suit out of court and are demanding from the plaintiff: his mortgage statement, tax returns, military records, wife's deposition and where and with whom he goes to confession.
They're a bunch of righteous Nazis.
Isn't it a coincidence that all of Bergoglio's sex perverts, e.g. Zanchetta and Seguna, are beset with "health problems" when exposed of their perversions?
