Motel-hopping Monsignor once spoke out against liberals, gays

[Bluebear]

Monsignor Eugene Clark and Laura DeFiilippo, his 46-year old secretary head to a room at the Sands Motel.


A 79-year-old monsignor named as "the other man" in a Westchester County divorce case resigned Thursday as rector of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the New York archdiocese said.

Cardinal Edward Egan accepted Msgr. Eugene Clark’s resignation despite Clark’s denials that he has been carrying on an affair with his 46-year-old private secretary, the church said.

“He offered his resignation for the good of Saint Patrick’s and the Archdiocese,” the statement said. “He will not be celebrating Mass or the sacraments publicly until this matter has been resolved.”..

Clark has been rector of St. Patrick’s in midtown Manhattan since 2001 and has often celebrated Mass there when the cardinal was away. In 2002, he blamed the church’s sex-abuse scandal on “the campaign of liberal America against celibacy.” “Homosexuality became in the American exchange of views a protected area,” he said.

3. “the campaign of liberal America against celibacy”

That's the first I've heard of it...

If only priests would (could?) remain celibate - that's the problem - too many of them don't.

My guess is they refer to him as a "Cleric" so he won't be confused with a Fighter or Magic-User.
