And no offense, but whats up with this?

Hey: they're only half-naked, and they're adults! I'm hoping they start a trend.

The original was found in the Vatican Archives!!

This appears to have been going on for some time...

Honestly it's a creepy video. Creepy not because of the obvious homoerotic element to the performance (the little strip show at the start, for starters), but creepy because the Holy Homophobe himself is so clearly enraptured by it all.

Senior U.S. priest defends response to child sex abuse complaint

5:28pm EDT

By Dave Warner

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A senior church official on Thursday defended his response to a child abuse victim who was told that a predator priest could not be punished because he had sex with women too and therefore was "not a pure pedophile."

Under intense cross-examination by the prosecution, Monsignor William Lynn of the Philadelphia Archdiocese testified in his own defense for the second day at his trial on charges of child endangerment and conspiracy. He is accused of covering up child sex abuse allegations against priests, often by transferring them to unsuspecting parishes.

What a charmer.
