Priest Caught Surfing Porn in Rectory

We suppose this is a step in the right direction, but still, a little more discretion could have been used.
A Swedish clergyman is in some serious trouble, and thankfully, it didn't involve altar boys. No, the preacher decided to quell his Earthly desires with a little online filth. The only problem is his excursions on the Web mucked up the entire parish's computer network. The priest's boatload of porn carried with it a destructive computer virus that took out the church's computers, leading to the discovery of the cache of photos and video.
The clergyman has handed in his resignation to the parish, but it's not known yet if the church is going to strip him of his priestly status. Next time, maybe he'll give Chrome's or IE's

Why do you think they call it the "rectory"?

I feel sorry for the priest and the church. I hate it when my network goes down. Do we consider a priest not to have the needs of a man?

Apparently, in the Catholic church, they expect their priests to be like what they believe Jesus to be, although they also fail to acknowledge the portion of their belief that Jesus was more than human and thus it is rather silly to pretend that a priest can somehow rise above basic and natural human needs.
Priests should have always been able to marry, IMO. Priests in other denominations are allowed to marry, although levels above priest (such as bishop) usually involve a no-marriage clause.
I have no idea why. Oh well, I am not a church leader so whatever, eh.

I hope the Catholic clergy will conduct an investigation or at least an inquiry to find out if not having sex is a big problem for their priests. This is just the latest in a string of things not being normal for priests and while the world may balk, we have to realize that they are just human. I hope that they may make some changes in the future, due to the trouble that came out in the last few years.
