Poor guy.

Priest in gay porn probe leaves parish - CNN.com

Belfast, Northern Ireland (CNN) -- An Irish priest at the center of a gay porn controversy has asked to leave his parish and take sabbatical leave from the priesthood, he said Sunday.

Father Martin McVeigh has admitted he destroyed a memory stick containing "inappropriate imagery" ahead of a church investigation into reports he accidentally showed pictures of naked men to parents of children preparing for their First Holy Communion.

The incident happened at the start of a PowerPoint presentation at a grade school in Pomeroy, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland in March, said the leader of the Catholic Church in Ireland, Cardinal Sean Brady.

Parents said in a statement they were "horrified" by what they saw and called for action to be taken against the priest.

The church reported the incident to police, who said no crime had been committed.

I found the story over at the BBC too where he says....

"I apologise unreservedly for the hurt caused," he said.

"I want to assure you however, that I was not responsible for the presence of the offending images and in this respect I ask you to accept my innocence."

Bless you, Father.

Being a catholic priest, I guess it could have been worse ......

But seriously, I can understand how mortified he must have been.

This happened ages ago just before the priests made it clear about how opposed they were about gay marriage, but I still think its hilarious and shows up how hypocritical they are. I don't feel sorry for him because all they do is bitch about how evil gay people are.

It remains to be seen that the "blunder" was the priest's.

I think I might have called it a boner rather than a blunder, but it's a cock-up in either case.

I absolve you, Father.
Eenie Meenie Minie Moe. Eenie Meenie Minie Moe. Eenie Meenie Minie Moe.
There. You're absolved.
Now go and say your penance.

What I find hard to believe is that full-grown adults would be "horrified" at a photo of a naked man.
They should have just laughed it off and forgotten it.
Who the hell cares?....

Oh God...........the catholic church never fail to amuse me
Hypocrisy at its best

I'm sure a lot of the congregation were appreciative.
