“The bishop sent him to a therapy program, and after five months, Szydlik was allowed to return to ministry under supervision.”
What kind of therapy is there to cure a man of being heterosexual?
Cheeze louise!! I spent the better part of my teenage years in that neck of the woods. Lived in Woodriver (just down the road) and went to SIU-Edwardsville.
Now I've never been to Ithaca, but SIUE is about as close as I ever want to come. SIUE/Edwardsville very, very....er..."progressive." The fact that this chick and her husband* moved to Edwardsville to distance themselves right there sends up the yellow warning flags. Outside SIU, Edwardsville has no real industry than Berkley or Ithaca.
"Holly Force, and her husband, Christopher..." Hum. Long haired, dope smoking, vegetarian, anti-war, hate-Bush, "opened-minded", multi-cultural, Yugo driving socialist progressives
* Speaking which, why didn't her husband man-up and defend her from this apparently love besotted man of the cloth? And the fact that this priest was attracted to this (kind of) woman says a lot about him too. Obviously one of those "liberation theology" priests. Both Loyola and De Salle must be spinning in their graves like a pair of turbines.
This priest violated his vows, caused scandal that continues, and should have been permanently removed from ministry. IOW, he should have been kicked out of the priesthood. I don’t understand how a bishop could allow this type of situation to continue...
Suit claims Catholic priest impregnated parishioner then coerced her into abortion
What chutzpah. No one can force an adult woman to have an extramarital affair, much less force her to have an abortion.
