A priest having sex inside a church seems to me clearly protected by our Bill of Rights.

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.

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

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