Not that I encourage it, but a priest having a porn collection is hardly earth-shattering. Priests are men, and like all men they sin. But unless somebody else is being victimized his sin is between the priest and God, and other priests have no business blowing whistles on them.

I disagree. Porn is a corruptor if ever there was one. If the priest cannot be discreet enough to refrain from that vice, then he deserves any whistle that gets blown.
Victimless sin, like victimless crime is a ridiculous idea.

Ah--there is such a thing as fraternal correction, as much as NOBODY likes it. Allowing another to condemn himself to Hell without lifting a finger is a rather poor demonstration of the virtue of charity.
