Priest accidentally shows racy photos while giving fundraising pitch

Rev. Edward P. Lyman was using his computer to project an informational DVD about the diocesan Annual Appeal when he accidentally showed "inappropriate personal photographs" of scantily clad males that were stored on his computer. "This event was greatly disturbing to those who were present," says another priest. [Note: Times-Tribune is a bit slow to load.] (Scranton Times-Tribune | Short AP story)

Scantily clad males? A priest? Shocking! (Well, not really. Par for the course!) Another Scranton-area pedophile (oops, priest) was charged with child porn----the story is linked to the "minimally attired" story.

Bu what about the children?

@ GWC:

Homosexual does NOT equal pedophile but apparently GWC DOES equal ill-bred evolutionary throwback. Enjoy your day =)

There are no accidents...

I feel sorry for the priest. Who of us would want our private sexual fixations to be exposed in public in the most humiliating manner possible? Not me!

Yeah, there were a bunch of vows broken on many levels by our priestly closet case. And if he's been toeing the current church line and yammering from the pulpit about hating teh gays, he's a hypocrite. But at least he's not a pedophile.

Here is a thought.... let the priests marry! (Or recruit Anglican Priests, lmao).

The idea put forth by St. Jerome (around the year 200 CE) that sexual matters were best dealt with by celibate experts has been proven wrong.

Perhaps the celibacy business was instituted because the church didn't want to have to support the children/families of priests

Here's yet another butt fucker hypocrite~~

JohnJohn- Yeah, its like asking the blind to help you pick out curtains.

Oh wow.... awkward...

AmVet, thanks for that link. Made me laugh and cry.

Think about it: why would someone become a priest in the first place? This is an occupation in which you are required to give up your sexuality. Only someone who has some kind of problem with their sexuality would do something like that. I think that's why there are so many pedophiles among the priesthood. This priest is obviously gay. Yet he probably loathes himself for it. So he becomes a priest to try to control himself. The problem is, the sex drive is just too powerful. He should quit being a priest and just be gay. As for the pedophiles, they should be pumped full of chemicals that suppress their urges. Turn them into zombies.

I wonder if he uttered "Oh Shit!" into the microphone.

@johnjohn - Actually, they are.

AV thanks for the link- I did get chills at the former DA of York labeling child porn as "passively criminal" and deciding the priest was a "wonderful guy" leaving them not wanting to prosecute.

[gator host]

What exactly do priest do? Why don't any of them like women?
