A Roman Catholic priest was arrested on perjury charges Wednesday, accused of lying about his relationship with a mobster in testimony to a grand jury investigating a casino owner’s possible ties to organized crime.
The Rev. Joseph Sica was arrested outside his home in Scranton. He is an adviser to Mount Airy Casino Resort owner Louis DeNaples, who is the subject of the grand jury investigation.
A mobbed up priest beats a pedophile priest any day.
Those are not, of course, the options. Either should be put out of the Church unless they repent.
Pragmatism suggests that at any given time, in any given church or denomination, there are clergy who aren’t fit. The worst of these, by far, are the pedophiles.
I hope you all remember to pray for this poor man also.
