Aaahhhh, don't these idiots get it? For those in the church that always blame it on the Americans (oh, they always love to litigate) and have somehow overlooked the recently publicized scandals in Ireland, this new problem in Vienna, Austria ought to wake them up. Unfortunately, the local Bishop doesn't quite get it and as he dismissed the event and somehow overlooked the kiddie porn aspect or it. He also doesn't get it that pictures of priests having sex together is ever-so-remotely connected to homosexuality.
"A vast cache of child pornography and photos of young priests having sex has been discovered at a Roman Catholic seminary, officials said Monday, leading politicians and church leaders to demand a criminal probe and the resignation of the bishop in charge.
Bishop Kurt Krenn, who oversees the diocese, refused to step down, however, dismissing the images as a ''childish prank.''
''Anything that has to do with the practice of homosexuality or pornography has no place at a seminary for priests,'' it said.
Krenn, a conservative churchman, told Austrian television he had seen photos of seminary leaders in sexual situations with students, but he described the images as part of an elaborate prank that ''had nothing to do with homosexuality."
