I know that a lot of sectarian bashing will commence with this thread, but I am as saddened by this as I am by the disclosure of another wayward priest. All clergy serve Christ and as St. Augustine said, the light of God can shine through broken or dirty glass (paraphrased). A theology professor of mine once said that if you do not believe that you are at the center of a spiritual battle at every moment of every day you are on the wrong side. Clergy are often the first targets and first casualties in that war.

Let's remember the good they have done and pray for their repentance and Salvation.

Peace be with you.

Worth repeating.
