McGreevey mulling Episcopal priesthood Posted by The Star-Ledger May 02, 2007 12:08PM Categories: News
Patti Sapone/The Star-Ledger Former Gov. James E. McGreevey appears during custody proceedings in the Union County Courthouse last week.Former Gov. James E. McGreevey has started the process to become a priest in his newly adopted Episcopal faith and hopes to begin a three-year seminary program in the fall.
McGreevey, who often described himself as a devout Catholic while in public office, was officially received into the Episcopal religion on Sunday, at St. Bartholomew's Church in Manhattan, and is now part of the church's "discernment" phase that usually precedes any seminary work, said the Rev. Kevin Bean, vicar at St. Bartholomew.

Just go away....
What could be better? How about the BILL CLINTON RAPE HOTLINE?
You aren’t going to believe this!!
Satire is less funny when it actually happens in real life.
Oh my! My former church continues its decent into godless decandence.
Your church has the gay priests and mine has the child molestor priests. Pretty disgusting.
Oh, yeah, I guess now the Episcopalians need their own “gay priest” scandals!!
Interesting in light of all that the Catholic Church has gone through in recent years...... how could any “church” willingly accept someone of McGreevey’s background (admitted stranger gay sex at highway rest-stops, etc.) to the priesthood???
I don’t know about your diocese, but ours got rid of the child molesters back in the 80s. They are in prison, exiled in remote monasteries, or dead.
Scrappleface?..........The Onion?.........MAD TV?..........SNL?..............NO, IT’s FOR FREAKIN’ REAL!...........
marvelous...another faggot priest waiting to rape young boys. Why not a Boy Scout leader?
Anyone see his wife on Oprah yesterday? Holy smokes, and God forgive me, but his wife is, well, lacking a certain amount of gray matter.
However, it was fun to watch as Oprah tried to pry information out of her. My word, it was like grabbing smoke.
Oprah’s last question: “Are you still healing?”
Oy.

Does this mean he has to divest from his Israeli boyfriend?
This is actually classic behavior.
Many homosexuals try to escape their demons by running into the ‘priesthood’ thinking that it will help them stop.
It rarely does anything more than increase the number of homosexual priests.
(McGreevey has plenty of practice kneeling.)
The Episcopal Church has an openly gay Bishop.
Why am I not surprised? Dear Fatherly God, why have you forsaken us suffering Episcopalians?
Is this suitable for your Anglican ping list?
