A Catholic priest from Southampton tried to have sex with a teenage boy before suggesting they conduct morning prayers in his lounge, a court has heard. (http://www.ryeandbattleobserver.co.uk/latest-south-east-news/Priest-abused-boy-before-morning.3847203.jp)
"Whilst he was staying he was invited by Mr Rutledge in to Mr Rutledge's bedroom. It was explained that what happened in Turin was not wrong. It ended with both naked under the bed clothes."

What a tragedy
After all a priest can't get married so abusing innocent kids is the only solution he has in hand.
What a tragedy!
IceTea, the painful part is that he told the teenage boy that it was "not wrong"
I'm sure this priest misunderstood the tag "religioun of love"
Religion of Love indeed. I don't blame the West keeping priests and churches away from themselves and their kids!
Just imagine how many Christians confess their sins to this priest while he is committing such sins by seducing the boy.

At least I am disappointed viewing such thread in religion forum.
Well, that's what we get!
When there are bad priests who do such things, then people will begin to believe that it's all of them.
Still, I am Catholic and I know many Catholics. I am around priests all the time. I have never met anybody who has had this happen to them or their kids or who knows anyone who did. And I know quite a few Catholics.
The priests I know are generous and hardworking people who spend gobs of time visiting the sick and lonely and comforting the injured, hearing confessions and saying Mass. They are often overworked and underappreciated.
And no one detests what these horrible priests do more than they do.
