What in the world possesses them???
I don't know this woman but I know I'd never sleep with a priest. Weird. She must be really needy or something.
The Army announced no specific allegation against Byrnes, but a senior official said it involved unspecified sexual misconduct. The official spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the allegation".
Oh, no, not him, too. A sad day.
Very sad. Maybe he'll be promoted to Rome. Sounds like they didn't need to cherchez la femme. If it was consensual, wonder why she turned him in, or did I get that wrong?
You were asking how a priest could afford a house in Amagansett. According to real estate records, the property is 1.3 acres. Also, he has owned the house for a very long time, so he may have inherited it, or bought it many years ago.

Where's the original story?
The devil wants it all destroyed because the strength of the church and those who are faithful to God is such a threat to the evil life he wants us to live. The devil is afraid of the goodness and power of truly religious spiritual people and he is trying to make his evil army larger and stronger. He is working overtime to create this unrest and make the weak give into these sexual temptations, and make other weak people accept the lifestyles that are not moral ones of God's desire.
I pray that the faithful find the strength to not give into these base desires when they are confronted with them. I also pray that those who do are exposed and removed and given the punishment that is deserved here on earth. Yet I hope that God helps them seek a way to repent and make restitution.
The strong presence evilness in the world today requires us to continually fight hard to rise above and not cave in, and it keeps getting stronger because the devil is so afraid of the power of those who believe in and love God and his Son, the saints, and all that is spiritual and good. As the faithful are more successful in bringing religion to higher levels of importance, the devil will continue to fight harder to bring it all down. This is the spiritual war that is raging like never before.
Yes, unfortunately, this is just another sad realization of the power of the devil and how weak we all are when temptation is so strong. With all this priest knew, with everything available to him to help him fight temptation, and with all he stood to loose, he still fell prey to the most sinful of desires that humans have the most trouble overcoming. That is how strong the devil is, and how his powers will always be used to destroy all that is good, and especially used most strongly against those who are supposed to be examples of good to bring them down and cause doubt and criticism and dismay among the good people. The devil only wants to and give power to the enemies of the church and all those who are of strong religious beliefs in God and God's laws.
He and the woman will be judged by God, not me....but they both still must pay the price and do penance on earth for their actions against morality and their vows. They cannot undo their past, and they both committed this crime knowing that doing so was illegal and immoral in the eyes of the Law and God. There is no escape from the price they should pay on earth and both have deserved to be exposed and should be thrown out of the church, as well as face the legal penalties. The rest is up to God.
We must all keep praying for strength to keep the devil away from our minds and influencing our thoughts so that he does not continue winning these battles for our souls.
It just goes to show, you're never too old to be a bloomin' idiot.
You know guys this is gossip. The man is almost 80 years old. Perhaps he has sinned. His least offense would be his very very poor choice to be near this woman. Having a young woman as a secretary, for a priest, would qualify as a near occasion of sin. I say those who have not sinned should cast the first stone.
Could it be...Satan?
