The Catholic Church is appallingly degenerate.
2
It's the like "depravity" of the Romans that so horrified the early church. The only thing missing is giant mosaic phalluses everywhere.

It's part of an image makeover. They've got to get those nice Catholic boys into seminary somehow.

Daily mass, confessions, baptisms, funerals, and visiting the sick just don't cut it anymore.

“I don’t think we did anything wrong.”

When we meet in Hell Mr. Egan, I will ask you if you still agree with that retraction.
5
I highly suspected that you might like that. :)

It certainly makes the banquet of the Chestnuts seem like a bake sale doesn't it.

I read that article, and couldn't wait to get your take on it. My next stop was SLOG.

The decade is still young.

Moral highground: totally evaporated.
If only the Catholic masses in Latin America & Africa could hear all this, we might actually see the Vatican going into total freefall.

Regarding the two fine Fathers catching a Broadway show: Some gay priests that I have met are so ignorant of gay culture that they have no idea what closeted clichés they are.

I've spent time with 3 young priests and monks as they sang show tunes at the top of their lungs, argued about the artistic merits of Shakira vs. Kylie Minogue, and spoke to each other in jokey/not-jokey falsetto. I was waiting for them to call each other "Mary". They didn't know any out gay people.

And while you can't define sexual orientation solely on a man's opinion of Judy Garland, it struck me that they were so ignorant of gay culture they didn't realize that singing show tunes between passionate discussions about the evils of gay marriage might seem ironic. All identified as straight.

It's the "Headline of the Day, Week, Month, Year, Decade,etc..." if perversion and deviancy is your thing. Good for you, Danny.

Protestants have been telling you for centuries that the Catholic Church is the Kingdom of Beelzebub on Earth. Danny must not have gotten the memo.

Even Stephen Lynch's song "Altar Boy," for all it's irreverent satire, doesn't sound as ridiculous as this story.

@10 If you suck it but don't fuck it, you're not gay.
14
@ 13 the many "straight" guys that I have gotten it on with always seemed to think that it was the other way round.

Anyone dealing meth and having sex in the workplace should get fired.

Oh God, Cardinal Egan. The Church covered for child molesters. Cat's out of the bag. Damage control is not pretending it didn't happen. Damage control is apologizing and putting this as right as they can be put!

As for headlines, I liked this one from the BBC: "Nazi Buddha Originally From Space."

Beginning to understand why it's called a rectory . . .
18
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker, he's a fucking motherfucker..
19
"(H)e was known as a charismatic speaker..." or was that just the meth talking?
20
Has anyone on slog ever had rectoral sex? Is it as painful as everyone says?
21
@16 -- The followup "Nazi buddha from space might be fake" doesn't disappoint either.

The Inquisition is a hard act to follow. I give this only 3 stars. If you examine the actual beliefs of this religion, it's difficult to be impressed by sexual peccadillos.
I was taught, for example, that I would go to an eternity of torture in Hell for eating one small piece of meat on Friday without repentance (this law is no longer on the books after Vatican II, poor consolation to those doing time on a meat rap, as George Carlin or Dick Gregory pointed out). I believed what I was told for quite awhile.
You need drugs to believe that stuff, or you need drugs if you believe that stuff.

Please wait...
