Sorry, but a priest as a character witness means as much as anyone else... close to zippo, when we know what he’s admiited to. My own former pastor thinks Ted Kennedy was a living saint. Tell me, Father, did you know Danny Boy had it in him to go pick up a stranger at a bar two nights after proposing to his fiance, carry that woman out to sludge pit and f*** her in the filth? It’s situations like this that the f-word was created for, and that gave the word in old times such a crass, nasty connotation. ‘Cause we’re not talking a broken, unfulfilled heart making love to the wrong woman; we’re talking, at best, a literally filthy, dirty f***, in the crassest sense of that very crass word. Do ya think his conduct in the courtroom was very becoming of a decent man? If so, you’re a reprobate, yourself. If not, your testimony is worthless.

And, as for the Freeper, what does “vouched” mean? Who are you referring to? A witness, or just another character witness?

I can say that I know this priest personally. He is an outstanding priest. He is an Irishman who was ordained for the Diocese of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and worked here for about 35 years before retiring and moving back home to Irleand.

I hold my fellow Catholic FReepers in high enough regard to accept a character reference, such as the one above, at face value.
