Don’t priests have enough problems? June 12, 2008

Apparently not. So therefore, this priest decided to create more.
A catholic priest in Denver was arrested last year for jogging at a high school track — naked. Granted, it was after 4:30 a.m., but the cops had seen enough.
The judge in the case did not inform the jurors - yet - that Whipkey is a priest. He’ll save that until truTV shows up to do a documentary for shock value. But the judge must believe that the priest is no different than the average citizen when it comes to the law.
I suppose that’s true. With the basis of our country being the separation of church and state, the a priest should be treated as anyone else. But Whipkey should have been seen as a community elder, a respected leader in his parish. And then he goes and blows it by stripping and streaking.
On the other hand, the fact that this guy’s a priest could mean that the jurors see him in a different light. After all, he’s only having exercising wearing what God gave him.
Anyway, there’s something we can all learn from this. Blessed are the naked, for theirs is the kingdom of an 8×10 cell.
Well…does anybody know why he did it?
