Kent woman charged in Louisiana, accused of having sex with priest in church

It's even better (or worse) than the article states. Both women were dominatrixes, and in the appropriate costume of corsets and high heels, while the priest was apparently still dressed from the waist up. The altar area was well lit for filming and that's apparently what was happening, as one of the women complained that all of her camera gear had been seized. The church was not open to the public, and the passerby had to go pass a fence and walk up to a window to see anything. Both women traveled to Louisiana for the meeting, one from Seattle, one from Atlanta. All three parties were consenting adults.

That's what really upset the archbishop.

Almost no mention was made of the other priest from that same church who was removed for molesting a minor. Pat Wattigny admitted to the molestation, and was also removed from his position as a high school chaplain at Pope John Paul II High School. It seems that he was caught sending inappropriate texts to a student.

But the archbishop's outrage is over the consensual sex between three adults...

Disgusting!

I heard about this. Thanks for the actual article so I was able to read a little about it; a very little because the article doesn’t provide some facts and context about what happened here: A Catholic priest “has sex with anyone on an alter in a Church”. The article goes on to say that legal charges against the people are just a: “thinly veiled attempt to regulate the morality of private individuals”. Then it seems you don’t understand how the Catholic Church can have a visceral (I had to look up the word :) response, and go on to speak about Church sex abuse crimes for decades, trying to make an equivalent action, that is an excuse for what took place.

While I am not a Church Official please let me try to explain in my meager way. Churches are “private property” with certain rights that nobody, not even Priests, have a right to enter and abuse and/or do whatever they want. Without going into details that would last from here to eternity, Catholic Priests take vows in general for the good of the general population and the Church. Needless to say, having sex on the alter isn’t in keeping with these vows. It doesn’t have to do with consenting adults, past crimes of the Church, or any such issues. To truly draw a parallel about a Priest who took his vows: and then has sex on an alter would be about the same as a military person (after taking their oath) providing our nuclear codes to the Chinese, of maybe a day care provider (who has professional standards) having rough sex with someone where our young children could see. What harm was done in these situations? Only a vow/oath was broken. Well in my opinion if millions die in a nuclear war, or 20 children’s minds are poisoned at a day care, or a Priest has sex on an alter that allows atheist and/or secular haters to spread their hate and dissent against an overall good organization… if any of these potential actions take place because a person broke their vows: then that person needs to rot in jail of worse; this also goes for the criminal Catholic people who committed crimes in the past, and the officials/people who covered up for them (nobody gets a free pass).

Sadly, I view all this publicity as secular and atheist propaganda meant to eventually destroy all religions. It’s a pretty sad world we live in that allows these hating people to spread their hate under the guise of Free Speech. MHO

PS: I have some atheist friends in my personal life. We get along very well. When asked about situations like this they tell me they have no opinion and don’t care because it doesn’t affect them. To me it appears we need to separate what I will name regular atheist and secular people (for lack of a better name) who are respectful; from hating atheist and secular people who, for real or perceived reasons, hate religion and will do and/or say anything to destroy the concept.
