A Catholic priest, who was arrested for allegedly groping a woman in October 2018, has been removed from the Diocese of Austin after the diocese said he "failed to maintain proper boundaries with an adult" in an unrelated incident in February.

According to the affidavit for the arrest of Gerold Langsch, 75, the victim suffers from several medical conditions and was put in hospice care after falling ill from diabetes. However, police said the victim, who is still alive, was fully aware of what was happening when she made the allegations.

Police said the victim's ex-husband contacted the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic-based service organization, to inform them of the victim's illness.

Langsch arrived at the victim's home to give her last rites and anointed her with holy water on her chest three times, according to the affidavit.

Police said Langsch allegedly pulled out a different bottle after anointing the victim and applied lotion to the victim's chest.

Langsch then allegedly groped the woman's breast and asked her, "does that feel good?"

I made the same point about about sexual needs when I said (in Post #3) "for his *entire* life".

My point was that a man can chose to do these things when it is appropriate to do so.

You don’t have to eat in a car, you don’t drop your trousers on the street and empty your bowls.

If you take a vow of Chasity it is never appropriate to have carnal knowledge of a woman.
