“Scuse me while I Whip(key) this out.”

Eight years ago, in Sterling, Whipkey was caught shaving naked at a summer camp for boys.

Ya know, a one-strike-yer-out policy makes a lot of sense for these things.

Eight years ago, in Sterling, Whipkey was caught shaving naked at a summer camp for boys. The archdiocese responded to those concerns too, but he was never disciplined or criminally charged.

The (alleged) Perp

Actually, Whipkey's prior behavior is more lurid than that. Among the specific details of his past activities, he has also allegedly given nude "sex talks" to 11-year-old boys while on a three-day camping trip while at his previous parish in Sterling Colorado, as reported on Catholic World News...

The Archdiocese placed Whipkey on administrative leave

Leave? He should be laicized, excommunicated for moral turpitude and they should take his pension.

The Archdiocese has dodged a bullet here - they need to be proactive.

“But the Senator, while insisting he was not intoxicated, could not explain his nudity.” /nostalgia

Its ok it’s Colorado.

Father Whipkey's even made it into the news in Russia....
