Priest in gay porn probe leaves parishAn Irish priest at the center of a gay porn controversy has asked to leave his parish and take sabbatical leave from the priesthood, he said Sunday. The Catholic Church in Ireland had launched an investigation after reports Father Martin McVeigh accidentally showed pictures of naked men to parents of children preparing for their First Holy Communion. The incident happened at the start of a PowerPoint presentation at a grade school in Pomeroy, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland in March, said the leader of the Catholic Church in Ireland, Cardinal Sean Brady. Parents said in a statement they were "horrified" by what they saw and called for action to be taken against the priest.

I'm extremely impressed together with your writing skills as neatly as with the structure on your weblog. Is that this a paid subject or did you customize it your self? Anyway stay up the nice quality writing, it is rare to look a great weblog like this one today..
What a funny article. gay p.orn powerpoint to parents, right before their childrens' 1st communion... oh, my LOL...
I also think it's humorous that you can't use words that are in the ti.tle of the article. stupid wordbot.
google pedaphiles named gerald.... this will help with the identification of the bloggers
whats funny is that gerald the blogger would rather insult a gay priest ( i think ) and would defend the ped priests..... good choice to defend if your a priest.....
What is funny is that chief is a liar and a coward. I have never defended a ped priest. Not once! That is unless you think all priests are peds which is evidently what bigots like chief believe. I will defend the many good priests who live thier vows and vocations well. But Chief feels he has to vent bigotry at all priests. 100x the number of hits when you google ped and chief. Funny.
re gerald.... if you consistently defend those that defend peds, then your a ped or just as guilty by denial. your bs comments are always deflecting away from the issue....
chiefy,
it's funny on a thread about child abuse if anyone says anything that is not child abuse related you cry foul and ped sympathizer. This thread is not about priest child abuse chiefy. Yet you detract from the issue here. What a goofball you are chiefy. It simply shows that you are truly a bigot.
re gerald... you like apples? try reading... my first comment was concerning the priest being gay most likely and the whole article and people were treating him as if he were a criminal........ a criminal in the eyes of the church..... and knowing you ped protecting tendencies, i felt like you were going to condemn him for being gay while you support the ped priests.... hypocracy.... if hating peds and having total disgust for those that are enableers like you make me a bigot, then im guilty.... how you like them apples priest
Your imaginary friend jesus and his sky-daddy are both fake.
So I guess you will figure that eternity will just be one bad long dream when reality hits.
Gerald, you are sadly brainwashed.
re gerald: cram it you pompass ped protecting religious bigot.... what a typical response from your high and mighty self..... if you really believe what you say, would you mock someone about an eternity in hell?
re gerald..... its funny you didnt respond to my comment..... i guess its hard for you to sit in confession and the running around the other side of the closet to hear yourself and then back around
chief, when you say the word bigot be sure you are in front of a mirror so you know what one looks like. Or you might look in a dictionary and see your picture beside the word.
re gerald the priest..... at least i dont mock peoples eternity because i am a catholic.... oh yeah on the righteous elite all knowing all right catholics can do that......
re gerald... btw i looked up bigot and found an article about the vatican trying to put nuns in their place of silence and obedience..... get a life priest
No you just think mocking Catholics is okay. You are the biggest jerk I have met on the internet. And a coward as well.
Hey chiefy I've got some stats for you. Which race is more likely to committ pedophillia? Any guesses?
Relative to their population, likelihood of abuse compared to background population rate:
American Indian +100%
Blacks +92%
Hispanics no difference
Whites -35%
Asian -67%
re gerald.... gonna go think its personal cause my name is chief...... thats a typical catholic attempt to usurp some theotard mentality....... if i am or not american indian or gay change the fact that your a priest and a defender of peds and most likely i would guess one of them..... im no coward .... and your a ped.... so put that in your dress wearing incense burner and walk around
Your first name or chief is a nick name?
@gerald
I'd like to know your source for those so called "statistics"
re gerald.... and the purpose of your question about my name? dont put me on your personal priest list for the "to be converted"
.... im a little to old for you and i would fight back
Chief, you'll never be the man your mother was.
re gerald..... where did you hear that old joke, from little boys on the playground while your looking for new recruits....
Prayer changes things.
You're a proven liar. Prayer doesn’t not; you are such a LIAR. You have NO proof it changes anything! A great example of prayer proven not to work is the Christians in jail because prayer didn't work and their children died. For example: Susan Grady, who relied on prayer to heal her son. Nine-year-old Aaron Grady died and Susan Grady was arrested.
An article in the Journal of Pediatrics examined the deaths of 172 children from families who relied upon faith healing from 1975 to 1995. They concluded that four out of five ill children, who died under the care of faith healers or being left to prayer only, would most likely have survived if they had received medical care.
The statistical studies from the nineteenth century and the three CCU studies on prayer are quite consistent with the fact that humanity is wasting a huge amount of time on a procedure that simply doesn’t work. Nonetheless, faith in prayer is so pervasive and deeply rooted, you can be sure believers will continue to devise future studies in a desperate effort to confirm their beliefs!*!,
Prayer is empty babble.
Said situation is another reason why Christians/Catholics are abandoning their churches.
ONLY FOR THE NEWCOMERS:
Recognizing the flaws, follies and frauds in the foundations of Islam, Judaism and Christianity, the "bowers", kneelers" and "pew peasants" are converging these religions into some simple rules of life. No koran, bible, clerics, nuns, monks, imams, evangelicals, ayatollahs, rabbis, professors of religion or priests needed or desired.
Ditto for houses of "worthless worship" aka mosques, churches, basilicas, cathedrals, temples and synagogues.
I am glad you did not include Duffy's Tavern, I worship Bacchus there a few times a week, especially if there is a good Brunello or Malbec!
Note to priests using their PCs to store porn: Lay off the Jesus-blood before giving presentations to parents.
He did good. He denied it and destroyed the evidence. Cardinal said he believed him. Priest drops out of sight for a while until the heat blows over, then off to another parish.
I'm sure glad we hired John Gotti to show us how to go teflon in these situations.
I don't suppose anyone read the part of the story that the police were called and a forensic check was done on the computers and, in fact, the police cleared him of any wrongdoing?
That video was awesone.
So, he was "holding the USB stick for a friend"?
If the pics were not his he should have reacted with anger and demanded that the real culprit be found.. I have no problem believing that the images were someone else's; I have a HUGE problem with him not demanding justice in that case.. I wonder if he is being told to "fall on his sword" for another, higher-ranking individual in the RCC.
Oh certainly it must have been a higher ranking official. The Bishops are just hanging around the local parish every day and leaving memory sticks laying around. Man you people are really digging for conspiracy and cover up. You have no clue how ridiculous your claim is.
@gerald
Logic fail.. You seem to have missed my point entirely in favor of going off half-co.cked on just one line that started with "I wonder if...". Is that how you typically read?? You ignore the entire argument until you find one sentence that says, "Maybe it happened some other way like.. " and then pounce on that?? How silly.
Your speculation was nonsense based on your prejudices is my point and I stand by that.
he didnt do anything wrong? so whats your point? he did in the catholic churches eyes and based on the way they handle ped priests, this guy should be promoted.
Chief was that first sentence a comment or a question? More unitelligable posting by the unintelligent.
re gerald.... let me use smaller and more words.... im sure its hard to read something you dont chant..... (sarcasm) did he do anything wrong... (no he didnt from the eyes of the law ) ..... ( the point was ) he is guilty of something in the eyes of the catholic church and any comments about police are way overstated ..... ( the last point ) if the catholic church handles him the way they handle all the ped priests, then he should get a promotion..... he didnt harm any kids.... he may just be gay and thats it.... i am sure you understand exactly what i am saying now since you are a ped priest protector....
Chief are you gay?
re gerald.... who is asking and who do you think i care other than God, nope..... what concern is it to you.... my point was that the priest is most likely gay.... whoop de doo, at least he isnt a ped..... if your organization decides that they dont want gays then thats there issue but being gay isnt a matter of local authorities..... but im sure a good catholic like you that is an accomplice to the ped priests by your denial has some issue with a gay priest, go ahead and mock his eternity....
More lies by chief who thinks nothing of bearing false witness. Do you know what this chiefy. Lying! You do it by habbit. I'll bet you don't even know you do it. The only thing I have denied is that I am a preist simply because I am not. But in some superior way to insult me and belittle all the good men who are priests (not the peds or you will accuse me of denying it happens) you have to keep calling me one. I would be honored to be a priest and bear the brunt of your insults but I am not. But keep insulting me chiefy. It shows far more about you than me.
Chiefy in what race on a percentage basis is pedophillia the biggest problem?? Any guesses?
Relative to their population, likelihood of abuse compared to background population rate:
American Indian +100%
Blacks +92%
Hispanics no difference
Whites -35%
Asian -67%
re gerald .. when you say you would be honored to be called a priest..... thats the same as getting a job at a child care center right gerald.... you know, ive never met a dude named gerald that wasnt a fruitloop.....
The subject here is that church actually. Not that "priest" if you want to be entirely honest about it. Once again the Catholic church is a wonderful social organization. All of the religion is hokey of course. I have friends for a lifetime from that place. Not to mention some really good memories and met some really fine women in there to. Sports, drinking, women they have it all there. For that I highly recommend it over any bar or club or dance club I have ever been in. Really the problem might be here is if you strip away the religion then you have just one more dry social setting. You could entertain yourself with some of the religous ceremony like oh the priest breaking the wafer then dabbing his mouth like Judas in a quiet supper club after turning Jesus in just before he goes out and hangs himself. It's all baloney of course. The wine that was amusing even as a child and the girls from parochial flipping shots of their white panties to the boys. I liked all that of course. I learned everything about Rome in there except for the fact it sit on a dormant volcanic field. Thats the blowhole to hell of course. Which sends chills up and down their protestant cohorets spines and leads to endless arguments. Divide and conqueor always has its place ask any Democrat or Republican. They talked about Gods voice yesterday. However not the devils. Since religion is obviously such a well financed operation. Loans for churchs. Bibles in every hotel which is a mystery in itself. That tells you either mandatory bibles come with the loan papers. Or someone really big owns all those Hotels in some kind of financial scheme or Jesus makes the franchise owners put them in there. Or Jesus got no room. So that just warms every Hindus heart and they just have to have a bible in there. Or Jesus makes all franchise owners have bibles in their hotels. That would make sense to someone religious of course. Deal is the printers of the bible are well heeled folks. They make sure the gullible have plenty of reading material. A pacified workforce that dosen't want your hide is the next and closest thing you can be to on your way to fame and fortune. My point Religion has a purpose. It serves certain people very well. The takers aren't without schemes.
