This is silly.
The man is probably decent AND GOD FEARING.
He didn't have child porn, he had adults.
Big whoop!
Get over it and continue to embrace your priest, complete with the sexual energies he must fight on a regular basis
What, you expect a "perfect man"?
He's a priest...a man.
Find it in yourselves to forgive this man, and be BIG ABOUT IT.
He has been completely embarrassed and humiliated by this ordeal, so it's time for REAL CHRISTIANS to give this man their support and not cast him away like a piece of ....
Again, he's not a pedophile.
FORGIVE HIM!

Our society is so quick to condem without knowing all the facts!!! I have had disgusting pictures pop up on my computer, from out of cyberspace unknown!!!!!!!! A very wise statement was made to me years ago, "Believe NOTHING you hear and only HALF or less what you see".....What would Jesus say to all of this?

Actually, if he was using church property that is at the very least an ethical problem. It's that same as viewing pornography at any place of work.

Also, we don't know what the content of the pics were, so it is hard to decide how serious the situation is. The priest was removed from his parish duties

Finally, being a priest is a difficult job--they're sexual suspects from the get-go.

We know enough. We know it was not children, and we know it was men.
Let it go already!
I know you expect a perfect man, but that's not possible.

people that believe in 'god" or a ;fairy in the sky" who answers telepathic wishes or "prayers" are very naive.

Anyone who is so delusional that they believe everything they read without questions deserves to be taken advantage of in this way.

The guy who had these photos is a predator, predators like to prey on the weak, stupid and naive.

They know that anyone who is "religious" has no clue what is really going on in reality, therefore they make easy prey

WAKE UP AMERICA AND STOP THIS KIND OF THING FROM HAPPENING TO YOU.

IF YOU NEED GUIDANCE THEY YOU SHOULD ASK A PROFESSIONAL JOB COUNSELOR OR START SEEING A SHRINK.

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Aries

It's one of those days when you'd be wise to mind your Ps and Qs if you want to avoid putting both feet in it or feeling like a fool. The trouble is that you're finding it hard to think before you speak, and you're rushing into situations without thinking about the possible consequences. All you can do is to apologize and try your hardest not to let it happen again.
