1. At least they were consenting adults

Things are really bad in the Catholic Church when one is relieved that the sex involved consenting adults.

Further to my own point, I think a law against desecrating a religious altar, especially by the religionist, himself, couldn't stand constitutional muster given honest USSC justices.

That's why in places like Liberty U and Oral Roberts U, there are separate dorms and no dancing' and no parties. And there's a reason for that. Look at what happened with Falwell and the $$$ its gonna cost the school.

4. Per other reporting, the altar was "clearly visible from the street,"

which is why a passerby saw what was going on, and therefore violated laws against having sex in a public place. The fact that it happened in a church was not a factor in the charges filed.

... from the street while their reflection clearly showed this sex orgy in the stain glassed windows behind the altar. And this could all be seen by the general public passers by in the street ?

Oh My Good Lord, Mary, and Joseph.

It is very possible that they could be seen from outside. I suspect that the bright lights at the time indicated was something that would raise some suspicion of less than normal activity and I would certainly have called the police. What the consenting adults do is up to them, but they failed to do so in a space that would not draw attention to their actions.

... what the fuck have you done ?

*******

Might want to bleach and fumigate that sanctuary before munching and sipping communion in that church ever again....

What have you done ???

Is this guy the Devil masquerading as a celibate priest ? What an insult to organized Catholicism.
