A Wigan priest has appeared in court accused of sexually abusing boys on 38 occasions. Father William Green, priest at Holy Family Roman Catholic Church, New Springs, was arrested late last year over allegations dating back to the 1970s.

Fr Green, 67, first appeared before Manchester magistrates last week facing six indecent assault and gross indecency charges.

They relate to alleged incidents while he worked as a teacher at St Bede's School in Manchester between 1977 and 1981.

Green, who now lives in Middleton, yesterday faced a further 32 similar charges dating between 1968 and 1987 involving a number of boys under 16.

38? That's some kind of record, right?

Homosexuals, just like the rest of us.

This would never have occurred had he been able to marry a boy between the ages of 13-16.

Our intolerance of the predatory homosexual lifestyle is the reason he acted this way.

That's some kind of record, right?

Not even in the same league as that "Bible believing" pentecostal Tony Leyva who, you no doubt, know nothing about.

“This would never have occurred had he been able to marry a boy between the ages of 13-16.”

how true!

and once again I am noticing this man became a priest BEFORE Vatican II.

I was under the impression from some radtrads that Vatican II was also the cause of the scandal.
