I’m going to call this a win for the church that everyone was over 18.

Every next word in the headline was a wild surprise

They'll have the funeral in a few days when they can finally close the coffin.

In a similar incident, an Italian priest was sentenced to three years in prison in late 2021 for stealing nearly $120K from the church to buy drugs for gay sex parties he hosted

To reduce the number of recurrences, the church is considering introducing “Gay orgies 101” in their theology curriculum… just kidding, of course they’re doing nothing.

I call shenanigans. Male sex workers know their boner pills better than abbotts know the Nicene creed.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Probably wasn't a sex worker.

"i died cuz my dick got too hard" is probably a bad look for a priest...? it's so hard to tell with how they act

Bishop of the Diocese Stepped Down

Didn’t want to handle it lol. Suppose it’s easier than dealing with the fallout.

Honestly, this doesn't surprise. Mainly because this isnt the first time a priest, or to be more specific, a pope held a mass orgy.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

That just sounds like the perfect night out tbh

Love the before and after pictures. It’s almost like a page from a kid’s book
