Polish authorities have launched a probe about a possible perv priest after photos surfaced showing teenage boys and girls licking whipped cream off his knees during a bizarre "initiation ceremony."

The priest's school, however, doesn't see what all the fuss is about.

The creepy snapshots were taken during an initiation ceremony for freshmen at St. Dominika Savio Silesian School in Lubin, southeast Poland.

The shots show a group of boys and girls on all fours - some of them in cat make-up - taking turns licking white foamy cream off Father Marcin Kozyra's knobby knees.

In one set, Kozyra is sitting in a battered armchair with a rod across his lap.

In another shot, he sits on a grass hill and appears to be whacking a female teen with a stick.....

“It appears to be a storm in a teacup,” Father Alfred Leja, a parish inspector that oversees the school, told The Telegraph.

“It appears to me that people are trying to distort this situation and make it look like some form of sexual abuse.”

Of course. Why would anyone see something abnormal here?

This is sick.

Australian Roman Catholic Church admits child sex abuse.

When is the Vatican going to wake up and allow priests to marry??? If *some* Catholic priests are allowed to be married (Eastern Rite,Anglican converts) all of them should be.Christ wouldn't have wanted His vicars to go without a woman's love and companionship for their *entire* lives even though *He* did.You keep the marriage ban and very soon there'll be *no* priests because perverts feel less and less need today to use the Church as a refuge...disgracefully,perversions like theirs are more and more accepted.

And yes,I know that married men sometimes abuse kids but they *certainly* don't do it *nearly* as often as do men who also have that other perversion.

...because heterosexual men like to abuse little boys???? Try checking the logic of your argument again. Leaving aside the fact that cases of child abuse are just the same per capita outside the church among married people too. The problem is not watering down our doctrine...the problem was NOT sticking to our doctrine and letting in too many homosexuals into the priesthood under lax authority. Thank goodness Pope Benedict is continuing the house cleaning that Blessed John Paul began.

WTF?

I second that, I have no idea what the heck this has to do with anything that the Church teaches, there needs to be some serious investigation here...

Looks like someone saw *Fraternity Row* and the Gamma Nu Pi hazing.

Hazing? I thought it was people returning home from the first day of Oktoberfest.

How come Catholics aren’t rioting over this photo?

WTF?

...because heterosexual men like to abuse little boys????

Yes,strangely enough some do.They're likely the ones who feel the need to hide,but not control,their primary perversion or their secondary one.And some like to abuse little girls as well.But nobody...NOBODY...is ever gonna convince me that the abuse of boys is *nearly* as common among men who like women as it is among those who like men.The abuse of girls,sadly,is gonna be found everywhere and must be policed wherever is could occur.

[sargon]

Sounds like those summer nude camps for kids (11-17 - no parents allowed), where they licked chocolate off each others bodies. All the rage in Kalpornia I hear.

Libertarian delights

What propagandist BS. Nice smear attempt. Libertine, maybe. Libertarian, no. Learn the difference.

Libertarians don't believe in such things any more than YOU do...

I only heard rumors of the mythical “Double Papal Face Palm”.

How did I know I’d see that cover when I clicked on this thread? (snicker)

1 Timothy Chapter 4

“1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.”

[Sherman Logan]

In and of itself this seems relatively harmless.

But you really have to wonder about the mentality of any adult, much less a priest, who would set up such an initiation. Seems remarkably undignified, not to mention wildly inappropriate.

Initiation into what? What possible Christian context could there be to having minors lick whipped cream off of a priest? It’s weird and is breaking a barrier that should not be broken, that being intimate physical contact. Worse can and possibly will follow. Put a halt to it and remove this man from contact with minors. He clearly has problems with boundaries.
