A few stray photos on a computer trip up the Scranton branch of the Catholic church…
A northeastern Pennsylvania priest has been removed from his duties after church officials say he accidentally displayed inappropriate pictures from his computer before Sunday Mass. The Diocese of Scranton said the Rev. Edward Lyman was using his computer on Oct. 25 to project an informational DVD about the annual diocesan fundraiser when four photos were displayed. They featured what church officials describe as “minimally attired adult males.”
Minimally attired adult males—those are my favorite kind! But the minimally attired male, seen above (click on image for a larger version), is not—so far as I know—one of adult males whose picture was displayed before mass at St. Anthony’s in Scranton. His picture was taken at a gay nightclub in Rome, though, so it felt like an appropriate illustration. More shots from the Gorgeous Party at Rome’s Alpheus at Homo-Neurotic.
The gay man in me is very very aroused. Thank you.
Um, by the roman photos. Not the news story. Important clarification.
Isn’t the gay man annoyed by the fact that your reading a blog while he’s inside of you, or is that his kink?
He likes it when I read out loud.
Ha! Father Michael Scott? None of the guys looked anything like Ryan. And if Michael Scott had minimmally attired men they would be of Ryan.
Now I have the theme to The Office stuck in my head.
It’s Tuesday, Nov. 3. This happened on Sunday, Oct. 25. Nine days.
If only the church moved so fast when evidence came to light that a priest molested kids. Doesn’t this just really prove the point that it’s not what you do, it’s all ’bout not getting caught?
News from the Poke-Oh-Noes!
Oh man, that’s funny. People: be *careful* in this here computer age! Hide yer porn! *Especially* before your presentation to the entire congregration before Sunday Mass – that’s rule number one, didn’t you know?? That priest is going to have to spend the rest of his lifetime living that one down, when all he had to do was shell out $50 on an external hard drive. When will they ever learn?
Dan-
Your boy Gil Kerlikowske is on NPR today saying “not so fast…” on medical marijuana.
sorry to be the one to break it to you…
A queer priest? Unheard of!?! Such foolishness!
“The diocese would not say where he is.”
My money would be on extraordinary rendition to the Vatican for a bare-bottomed spanking (and perhaps some other fun) with Papa Rat, followed by redeployment to the Servants of the Paraclete in rural New Mexico.
When your public life and your private life are polar opposite, and then they suddenly collide – publicly – bad things will happen. You will pay.
If somehow the incident where I got caught receiving a blow job in the parking lot of a middle school made the papers (no, it wasn’t a student, it was a cougar), any and everybody who knew me would have pointed and laughed, but it wouldn’t have destroyed my life like this clown.
I went looking for a photo of the priest, hoping it was a young, hot, humpy priest, but did not find a photo…only info that the priest in question was ordained in 1967 which would indicate the allegedly horny priest was in his mid-sixties at best…not what I was hoping for.
