Can't say I'm that surprised.

Still haven't clicked, did some circumspect Google news searches to get the gist.

Are we really surprised by ANYTHING a Catholic priest does anymore? Just sayin.

Or the officials of any religion, really.

It appears to be active news, as I've seen it in a couple of places, so I'd say you might be thinking of something else.

Anyone in a position of sufficient authority over another and thinking whatever they're doing is private.

People with the ability to control others have the capability to abuse that power, and some people out there will.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

It's the same news, only reposted:

http://www.que.es/ultimas-noticias/curiosas/201301282045-detenido-pastor-evangelico-violar-fieles-cont.html?anker_1
(the current "source")

http://jesusmanero.blog.br/pastor-que-dizia-ter-membro-abencoado-e-preso-no-interior-de-goias/
(the same from october last year)

As far as I'm aware posted without actual sources in what looks like a satirical blog(the original). That I can't read spanish is not helping with looking it up, but there seem to be some pages debunking the thing if you google it up.

The bottom line is:
I don't have much love for organised religion, but repeating such made up stories as if they were real is just dumb and inconsiderate of actual victims of abuse. Get some real sources before you open your vitriol jar.

To quote the article linked by Graknorke:

One of the comments in the second news item states that it's  debunked here  http://www.aporeemfoco.com.br/abrenoticia.asp?id=2965 which appears to be some kind of local news site from the place where the events allegedly took place, and states that the original blog source is some kind of loljesus-like site. I might be missing details, though, as it's Portuguese and I'm exploiting Romance-language inter-intelligibility to get a general view of the text.

Next county over is hosting a 30-mile long yard sale.

What the.... ???

Tom Abdalla and his brother, who work as antique dealers in Selma, came up with the idea after buying bargains at a 700-mile annual yard sale that stretches along a U.S. highway from Michigan to Alabama.

I'm guessing it was Highway 45; apparently it was also the first paved road in the South.

"And the Dalai Lama was found in a Matilda tank covered in peanut shells the next morning by a trained religion-sniffing dog. Official reports state that no one was hurt, but several Utahraptor fossils were reported missing and there was a traffic cone on every roof in a 30km radius of the impact zone."

Let's pretend I'm posting this about a month and a half ago:

Apparently the house just two houses down caught fire and there's a huge hole in the back of the roof. This happened a week ago and I didn't hear or know about it until just a few minutes ago.

I can't believe I didn't post this before!
