Bad Boys

Eager to avoid dredging up old stereotypes about the Religious Right, we at Holier Than Thou are excited to report that a Roman Catholic priest has been convicted of something OTHER than child molestation!

Instead, Msgr. John Woolsey of New York’s Church of St. John the Martyr recently pled guilty to WHAT non-child molesting-related charge?

A. Soliciting prostitution during an undercover sting in Central Park
B. Grand larceny for looting some $800,000 from his parish
C. Driving under the influence, with a blood-alcohol level of 1.2 percent
D. Trespassing during a Memorial Day anti-war rally at the White House


ANSWER
B. Among the items Woolsey bought with his looted church funds were designer clothes, luxury vacations and a country club membership. He now faces up to five years in prison — plus an eternity in hell.
