Priest arrested for buying porn with church funds.

What pisses me off about this is that it clearly demonstrates the church's priorities. Take their money, go to jail. Diddle their kids, and they couldn't care less.

17. Series-ly, he should...priests get paid, I think...or at the very least

money they had prior to becoming a priest does not have to go to the church...they get to keep it.

2. WOw! I think this violates all 7 of the Deadly Sins and a few of the 10 Commandments

3. Better he should be jerking off to porn

than altering the altar boys.

4. What a moron. There is more than enough porn out there for FREE. n/t

[Iggo]

8. The Catholic church is clearly showing their true priorities with this priest.

Fortunately for the RCC, there is no action or stance which would offend its members enough to find a new church. The RCC can do anything, and I mean anything, and the vast majority of its members will still stick around. Blind allegiance over ethics and critical thought.

9. 83 thousand plus for porn.......wow

10. Doesn't a priest work for the church? What other funds does he HAVE for his porn?

:shrug:

He has to find SOME way to buy it!

11. You're upset that the Archdiocese investigated him?

"... LeBlanc .. was removed .. in the face of an investigation by the Archdiocese of Boston. That review (and a subsequent police probe) determined that LeBlanc used church funds to pay for online porn ..."

18. Don't twist my words.

After decades of church inaction on pedophile priests, they have this guy arrested?

Why didn't they handle it internally? Because THEY were the victim! When parishioners are the victims, they protect the perpetrators.

I don't know why I'm responding to you. I was clear in my original post.

19. So it is your view that all Catholics have forfeited all right to look out for their interests,

simply because a few of them were less than exemplary in their sexual conduct or in their responses to the sexual conduct of a few others?

20. That totally twists what I said

You're a master of logical fallacy. Misquote a person, and argue against what you accused them of saying.

[struggle4progress]

21. You seem to be objecting that the Catholics have investigated and taken action against

a person who misused church funds. Your objection seems to be based on the fact that at times in the past some people in the church have been guilty of certain other crimes or have seemed not to care much about certain other crimes. It has been some years since Cardinal Law suddenly decamped to Rome, and although you apparently believe there is some nexus here between this and that, I must confess I do not see it

12. Ok... Who the HELL buys porn in this day and age?

Dumbass.

22. Well, at least It's not a cloisterfuck

Apparently he thought he could literally grease his palm with the church money.
