Up to a dozen priests shown on cache of videos, sources say.
Home videos discovered in the basement of a Catholic church in south central Illinois show up to a dozen local priests dressed in drag and engaging in homosexual acts, according to sources claiming to have viewed the videos.
The Diocese of Springfield has denied allegations that it confiscated the videos, but says that it is investigating their existence and whereabouts.
The material, which a parish source says included at least eight DVDs, was allegedly found by a parish employee in early 2018 in the basement of Mother of Dolors Catholic Church in Vandalia, about 75 miles south of Springfield and 70 miles northeast of St. Louis. The church’s then-pastor, Rev. Barry J. Harmon, was removed from ministry last month after investigators discovered pornography in his rectory; Harmon was also accused of misappropriating up to $29,000 in parish funds, and was charged in late July with driving under the influence of alcohol. He is voluntarily seeking laicization, according to a September 11 statement from the Diocese of Springfield’s Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki.
One source with knowledge of the Mother of Dolors office, who spoke with CWR on condition of anonymity, stated that the videos were among the evidence taken from the parish during the investigation of Father Harmon. An investigator, a former law enforcement officer working for the diocese, viewed the videos on a parish office computer, the source said. The unlabeled DVDs were taken from the parish along with pornography and drug paraphernalia, the source said.
A spokeswoman for the Diocese of Springfield, Marlene Mulford, did not confirm the existence the videos, and told CWR that they were not among the materials taken from the Mother of Dolors rectory and turned over to police. This last point was confirmed....

Oh, great.
11 Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself.
- St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians 5th Chapter
Children of the Light arise!!!
One man who saw the videos recognized Christine Blasey-Ford in her transgender role as a man performing sex acts on several of the priests.
But, by God, I do hold them accountable to at least put in a minimal effort towards perfection.
That’s a credible accusation and I believe you.
This guy wasn’t making much of an effort.
Almighty God and Savior....give us strength to fight this evil.
It is especially true because I said it was true. That makes it true.
Cue 90s techno music.

Fer corn’s sake. Is it possible to alight on one undisputed fact? Is there one element of reality that no one is disputing?
If there is one thing that is clear in the New Testament, it is that homosexuals and others engaging in sexual immorality and perversion cannot be part of the church and are to be expelled. “With such persons do not even eat.”
But look where we are now.
Better than an alter boy.
It is YOUR truth. Who am I, or who is anyone, to deny you your truth?
Wonder how many were altar boys.
I weep for our fellow Catholic Freepers.
You deserve better than this.
The perfect place to store your sex videos. At your workplace. That’s a church...........
We are beyond furious at this point. Pray for us, and pray that this filth receive its just measure of vengeance from heaven.
Prayer for the Extirpation of the Sodomist Heresy
Almighty God, who in Thy ineffable glory did fashion man and woman in Thine image, deign to hear the plaintive cries of Thy suffering family on earth. Break all the heresies and powers of Hell that now rage against us, especially those pertaining to the unspeakable sin of sodomy. Look with mercy on those most pitiable souls it ensnares, and release them from its horrid clasp forever. Destroy the chains in which the devil has bound them, extinguish their every lust with the waters of Thy sacraments, and purify them in the divine fire of Thy Triune Love.
In Thy sovereignty also, remember the innocence of Thy children now on earth and yet to be born, and suffer not their cries to heaven for vengeance to endure. Obliterate every power of the enemy over the people of God, drive those who preach these errors from Thy holy sanctuary, and bring to speedy and total ruin every state, every province, and every city that exults in these crimes against nature, making, we humbly beg Thee, provision for Thy faithful as once Thou did with our patriarch Abraham.
O Lord Jesus Christ crucified, so hated by the principalities of the world, grant Thy poor servants the honor to suffer meekly with Thee the taunts, insults, and injuries of Calvary. And, in merciful consideration for the many weaknesses of our fallen nature, generously bestow on us every consolation and courage that Thou gave to St. Peter on the road from Rome, that we may both faithfully witness Thee to the fleeting empires of men, and forever adore Thee in Thy everlasting kingdom in heaven. Amen.
Ok I now have to admit there are things more disgusting than watchig MSNBC.
