Priest With Double Life Gets 3-Years Sentence

Priest spent money on male escorts, designer clothes.

I remember his arrest some time back. Here’s the sentence:

A Roman Catholic priest from Waterbury who stole more than $1 million in church money and spent it on male escorts, Armani clothes and nights out at gay bars has been sentenced to three years in prison.

A plea of no contest was entered on behalf of The Rev. Kevin Gray, 65, and he was sentenced on Wednesday to three years of probation.

Gray was accused of stealing the money from Sacred Heart Church. He told his congregation he had cancer, but that was not true. The investigation revealed that he shared a small apartment on New York’s Upper East Side with a man he met in Central Park in 2005. After the apartment was vacated, items left behind included a reproduction of part of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, stuck to the ceiling of the living room, and a poster that seems to be the Virgin Mary.

Gray paid the $2,000 rent each month and would visit for a few days every week,according to court records.

The plea means he didn’t admit guilt, but a conviction for first-degree larceny was entered on his record, the Republican-American reports. The plea also allows Gray to deny the charge if there is a civil suit.

Gray won’t have to pay back the money because the Diocese of Hartford did not ask for restitution, prosecutors said.

Gray’s attorney called many of the charges against his client overblown.

Overblown or not, he is guilty of stealing from the Lord! But what I can’t figure out (reading the above news): is he going to prison for a three year sentence or is it ‘probation’?

Shocking: Gays Mock Christians with Easter Service

This is despicable. Here’s the video [Warning: nudity and vulgar language]:

The whole report apparently including blurred out pics of a “gay Jesus” showing his private parts to the crowd is here [I could not bring myself to go there, the above was bad enough].

Sick!

I however find refuge in verses such as this one:

Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood (Rev 22:15).

Or as the CJB has it:

Outside are the homosexuals, those involved with the occult and with drugs, the sexually immoral, murderers, idol-worshippers, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood (Rev 22:15).

University Campuses are ‘Hotbeds of Islamic Extremism’

Islamic fundamentalism is being allowed to flourish at universities, endangering national security, MPs and peers say.

Perhaps they are now starting to wake up?

Islamic fundamentalism is being allowed to flourish at universities, endangering national security, MPs and peers said yesterday.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was a former student at University College London

Academics are turning a blind eye to radicals because they do not want to spy on students, a report claimed.

Despite “damning evidence” of a serious problem, little progress had been made in tackling the unsustainable situation, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Homeland Security said.

They urged the Government to tackle the issue on campuses with “utmost urgency”.

Such extremism “endangers our security at home and has international implications that are serious enough to threaten our alliance relationships”, said the group, which includes the former home secretary Lord Reid…

Secret files obtained by The Daily Telegraph and WikiLeaks disclosed this week that at least 35 terrorists held at Guantánamo Bay were indoctrinated by extremists in Britain.

The leaked documents, written by senior US military commanders, illustrated how Britain effectively became a crucible of terrorism over the course of two decades.

The parliamentary group was set up two years ago to carry out research into homeland security issues.

Its inaugural report comes after a separate inquiry by the umbrella organisation for universities earlier this year said animal rights extremists posed a greater problem than Islamist radicals.

Universities UK, which represents vice-chancellors, said it could do very little about extremism on campus…

England well on the way to becoming an Islamist state.
