I don't think that he is necessarily an evil person because he is a priest. I would suspect that his depravity is the result of his having attended Harvard.

Don't being depraved and Harvard automatically go together?

Just when you thought the Catholic Church in the USA had cleaned house of its psychopaths... I sure hope the church does an internal investigation to see if those around this priest just ignored what was obviously very disturbing behavior.

At least he didn't get violent. Just imagine how bad this situation would have turned out if he had gone to one of those other "Ivy League" schools.

I wonder what type of comedic material Conan can make out of this...

Scary.

They never get violent at Princeton -- not even the Tigers' defensive front line.

I'd imagine he'll want this to disappear from the news as quickly as possible, lest the story encourage some other crackpot to take this priest's place.

What is it with men of the cloth? So many are off-the-wall, stalkers, and make people afraid of them. Not to insinuate anything, but ...........

Of course this story WOULD break during the writers' strike.

This story reminds me of Bill Murray's line about being rich and famous. He suggests that you first try rich and see if that's enough for you. The famous part has its downside.

(Despite the writer's strike, I am sure this will eventually provide great material... roll theme music and trailer...)
