Last night’s news reported that the pastor of a parish in the south end of the diocese was arrested on charges of downloading child pornography from the web.
The bishop, according to the story, has placed him on administrative leave.
Pray for the parishioners of St John Vianney in New York state.
Pray for Bishop Hubbard.
Pray for his brother priests who have been hurt by this.
Pray for the priest.

Praying for healing for the priest, bishop, parish, and parishioners, and all others hurt by this offense.

Seems like all diocese should have preventative software installed on all parish computers.

Praying for all good priests to continue to be strong and faith filled as good shepherds in their vocations.
 
I think maybe the prayers will do a lot more good than the preventative software.:rolleyes:

And I’m prepared to trust our priests more than I am technology that is very, very easy to work around. Boot up a Windows computer from a Knoppix CD, and you’ll get straight into the internet, sans any filtering, and none of the Windows packages or programs will be any the wiser.

We know priests are sinners, like the rest of us, but they are entitled to the presumption of innocence, like the rest of us.

Blessings,

It is so sad that all priests are going to be scrunitized further because of this, even those who have done no wrong.

My prayers are for all involved in this horrible situation.
 
The Times Union (Albany) report cited above included information that he had once been posted to the parish I attend now.

Re software on parish computers
From all indications the offending downloads were on his personal computer at his home.
