Can the Priestly Strippergate get worse? Yes, it can.

DeFede: Priest Admits Paternity, Demands custody (link)

The priest with the restraining order against him for threatening his baby's mama is now demanding custody of his bastard child because, while a stripper is good enough to bear his child and try to get into three-ways with, she is not good enough to be a mother.

So, this Catholic priest is now saying that not all people are cut out to be parents? Wow, the hypocrisy is glorious.

I hope she hands him his ass in court and keeps her baby! Although, the priest has a the ex-Mrs. Hulk Hogan's divorce lawyer.

Should I start chanting "Jerry" now?

Oh yeah, he wants to change the child's middle name to Epiphany. Is the epiphany not to have un-protected sex with a married stripper perhaps?

Jaw-dropping stupidity ahead:

Rafool said Dueppen's transgressions as a priest will have little bearing on the case.

"There is nothing in the law that says if you violate your vows as a Catholic priest that that will be a factor and weigh on whether you're a good parent," said Rafool. "Now, whether you are in fact an exotic dancer, a stripper, a prostitute, whatever it is, that would weigh on it because they are factors in the law that deal with your morals."

I don't even know where to start. "A stripper, a prostitute, whatever..." So which is it? Because I'm pretty sure a prostitute and an exotic dancer are two different things. For one thing, the latter is a legal occupation. Then, how do those "morals" count but a priest blatantly breaking his vows (by possibly having sex with a prostitute?!?) not?

The lawyer is an obvious douche, but I hope for the child's sake that this gets settled without too much animosity. The priest - whatever, as long as he wasn't stealing, I have no problem with him having an affair. Especially since he's left the church and is trying to get a job. If the woman's allegations about him attacking her and coercing her into having lesbian sex are true then f*ck giving him custody of the child. There's a lot more of this story to be hashed out yet...

By definition of being a Catholic Priest aren't you then morally unjust for being a biological father?

Aren't Catholic priests immoral for being Catholic priests?

I think the other side needs to bring the priest breaking vows thing up, because with the history of priests raping children I don't think any priest that can't stay celibate should be around ANY children!
