Truly sickening that this happened in a house of God.
I heard rumors of something similar once. And then there is the story line of 'Windswept House'. I fear it is not so rare.

Louisiana priest, 37, is arrested for having a threesome with dominatrices on church altar | Daily Mail Online

Why does the Catholic Church have such a serious problem with abhorrent sex acts by priests?

I've been looking into Catholicism after having a break up with Orthodoxy (usually the opposite, I know), and then I come across this stuff and I'm left disgusted.
There is a tremendous amount of spiritual warfare engaging our priests. Satan hates the Eucharist and he hates Christ's priests. Causing one to fall, or infiltrating their ranks with evil is a huge win for him in his ultimate goal for the demise of us all.

To be fair, there is no more sexual deviancy in the priesthood than the overall Catholic population or other groups. But they make the news. There are many holy and good priests who take up their cross and fight against Satan every day. They need our prayers and support.

Be glad that we know about it, that it no longer remains hidden, and be glad that God is working to cleanse the Church.
Things like this were known to have happened way back in the OT times; so in that sense this is really nothing new.

But the difference between now and back then are two things.
1. Now there is a reaction against it that comes from God's people. Back then whole towns were involved.
2. Now God is openly coming against activities and perversions like this, and is exposing them for what they are. Back then God was silent for over 300 years as man wandered away from The Word of God.

I think that given a choice between the two times, we should be glad this happened when it did.
Pray that God's guidance will be listened to, and obeyed while there is still time to do so.:crossrc:

I can remember when people would call Father Malachi Martin a nut for the things he claimed were going on in the Vatican and church at large. Not so crazy these days.
I was thinking the same thing. I just thought- No way! This is plot-lines for movies. Well... it seems not so much these days.

Right. His stories were just too wild to be true. But his 'fiction' seems scary on target with what we now know. I recommend Windswept House.

Not quite martin, but Lucifer's Lodge is written by a guy who didn't believe Martin, but ended up writing an excellent investigative book after realizing martin was right

Seriously - is there any other Church that claims to be Christian, that has such deep evil rooted in it? The massive scandals and cover ups we have seen again and again.

They used to say all churches were the same, and they just pick on the Catholic church because it's the biggest and most visible, but I'm not sold on that anymore. It's just looks like the one most overflowing with evil.

The Episcopalians have a much bigger problem per capita, but since they are so small it appears invisible. Protestants in general have large problem with sexual abuse by their various clergies. The data is nicely hidden but shows itself in aggregate insurance settlement costs. We Catholics do have a problem, but we are not unique in it. We are unique in being a big fat target for lawyers, in keeping good records of our clergy, in knowing we can no longer hide such things, in being a favorite media target, and having an established and thriving Lavender Mafia. The last thing is reprehensible. Satan has infiltrated the Catholic Church, and is using sexual deviancy as one of his dark lord's better tools.

There is no evidence in this particular case of any cover-up. The bishop has responded with openness and speed. We should askfor details on how this guy got ordained, who his buddies are, what his networks are, and how he got to this point. Then a bulldozer needs to clean all of his associates in corruption out. We need a priesthood small enough not to contain this sort of character.

Let me remind you that none of this should be a surprise. Malachi Martin has been blowing the whistle for years. And he's not the only one. We just didn't want to see it. So we didn't see it. We forgot that we all have hearts of darkness. We pretended that everything was just peachy, that everyone is saved, that we're all just good people, and nice, and that we just need to be nice. That's what C.S. Lewis called 'Christianity and water'. There is evil, quite expectedly, in the Catholic Church. Go down to the corner religious group and pay attention and you will find it there. Go down to the corner non-religious institution and pay attention and you will fid it there. Go visit your neighbor and pay attention and you will find it there. Soend some time with your own extended family and pay attention and you will find it there. Spend some time with your own soul and pay attention and you will find it there. The last thing you can confess, and maybe you have not yet caused an irreparable scandal to others. Just know that none of this is rare, nowhere is it rare.

I would be grateful if all posters , Catholic and non-Catholic would refrain from posting further on this thread.

As stated in post#2 by Michie, there was already a thread on this topic posted on Friday Louisiana priest arrested for alleged threesome on church altar: report

I have asked Staff to combine the two threads to prevent further duplication.

Surely the priest knew this act was demonic. It makes me wonder where his loyalties lie. And why he became a priest in the first place.
His entire history needs to be unearthed. Especially his sexual history, his formation history, who approved of his ordination, and who he has done similar things with. The whole coven needs to be revealed and excised and exorcised. I do not think this is a one off isolated incident without other priests who are doing the same thing.
