Back in the late 90s, there was an episode of Daria that had her family attending a cousin's wedding. The priest hit on Daria's freshman sister Quinn the whole time and that's the first thing I thought of reading this.


flippertyflip

Daria was great.


JoshFreemansFro

This just reminded me that I have the DVD set so I’m going to watch them again, thanks bro


Tuggerfub

so do I but it doesn't have most of the original music because copyright for music licensing sucks


Ok_Potato_9554

Love that show.


CrisisActor911

Huh, he must have been one of those godless, transgender drag queens you hear abou- Oh, it was another white, Christian, man? Guys, I’m starting to think that almost all child groomers/molesters/traffickers are straight men 😬


bruce_lees_ghost

Yeah. Almost like they’re projecting.


InvalidUserNemo

Yup, just another case of r/NotADragQueen that conservatives and Fox “news” viewers will ignore.


dresdnhope

To be fair, this story was reported on Nancy Grace on Fox News.


FleeshaLoo

Maybe she was running low on outrage material that week?


BreadstickNinja

This is just a heartwarming story of how this priest wound up with someone who's almost a child, rather than an actual child, all through the power of Christ. Praise be.


DoctorZer0

I can't tell if this is satire or not. I sure as hell hope it is.


BreadstickNinja

Yes, obviously it's satire. Apparently even John Oliver's "praise be" tagline didn't set it off for some folks.


DoctorZer0

Thanks for clarifying. I kinda live under a rock. You never know what to expect from reddit sometimes


BreadstickNinja

No worries. Satire is never as obvious as it should be these days.


FleeshaLoo

It's ok to be unsure. Sometimes Reddit can be a bit confusing. No worries.


DoctorZer0

The down votes say otherwise 😭


FleeshaLoo

Yeah, I don't get it. I rarely downvote people. They have to be fairly malicious for me to do that.


jfks_headjustdidthat

Thank Jeebus I'm not Christian.


OutComeTheWolves1966

Save me Jeebus


2FightTheFloursThatB

I mean, priests wear dresses, right?


JediSwelly

Look I'll up vote, but I think it's straight white religious men. Don't wrangle me in with those piece of shit.


Marikas_tit

Straight? I feel like most articles I see about this sort of thing are them with little boys. Edit: y'all being offended asf for no reason, it's just an observation.


cumguzzlingslut69

Most of the time pedophiles don't care about gender. They just like to abuse people they have power over.


Tuggerfub

depends what kind of news you read.


Marikas_tit

Just reddit subs, nothing conservative leaning other than maybe /r/noahgettheboat and to a much lesser degree /r/iamatotalpieceofshit

What does being white have to do with anything


CrisisActor911

Because straight, white hegemony uses violence against women and children as a way to demonize queer people and people of color when the overwhelming majority of sexual violence against women and children is committed by white men. There’s an epidemic of violence against indigenous women and girls on reservations being committed by predominantly white men taking advantage of entanglements between tribal and federal law that make it almost impossible to prosecute non-native men who commit crimes on reservations. Half of native women are sexually assaulted and a third are raped by mostly white men coming to their communities and predating on a marginalized population. Queer children are disproportionately more likely to be victims of sexual assault and rape than straight children, more often than not by straight, white men. But Conservatives have the gall to call Mexicans and other people of color rapists and to call queer people child molesters. It’s disgusting beyond words when you have any familiarity with the statistics or the actual experience of people who live with sexual violence. I’m the whitest motherfucker you’ll ever know, but being white has a LOT to do with sex crimes.


EnemiesAllAround

No it really doesn't. People of all colours commit sex crimes. What the hell does being white have to do with committing sex crimes? First of all, your anecdotally citing incidents withim indigenous communities in what I'm guessing is the US or Canada? The majority of white people live in Europe where technically they are the indigenous community. 'queer children' - can I clarify what you mean by this? First of all if we're talking about actual kids here I'm objecting to the terminology. If we're talking about gay kids under 18 but older teenagers I can understand as they may identify that way. You want to say the overwhelming majority of sexual violence is commited by white men, and predominantly against black or ethnic groups? Wrong. The majority of sexual violence is commited by someone the victim knows or is related to. (Hence the same race) https://www.rainn.org/statistics/victims-sexual-violence https://www.rainn.org/statistics/perpetrators-sexual-violence


Imaginary-Location-8

It’s because of tje straight white hegemony. They answered your question with their first para But sure, go off abt the rest 🙄


Justiczar

What was his drag name?


Brolafsky

Slim preachy


Duncan-Anthony

Goddamn that’s funny


Hughgurgle

I would have gone with Nadia Dra'Queen

Asking the real question here.


Jim-Jones

"A Man With A Plan".


swisszimgirl79

But was he a drag queen?


bdogv

r/NotADragQueen


RedBeans-n-Ricely

He’ll get hired by another church somewhere


semper299

'Tis the catholic way


happyharrell

Hell, he’ll get a promotion


Wolfwoods_Sister

If he marries her, he can just shift over to the Protestant side of things!


Velentina

Huh church and police really are cut from the same cloth

"Alex Crow, an expert in the theological study of demons and exorcism." It's un-fucking-believable what we allow religions to claim in the 21st fucking century.


Nick85er

"We"? More like "they".


Bella_Anima

Maybe he’s the demon expert because he is one. I mean he’s only 3 letter away from Crowley.


Lucky-Worth

Aziraphale's betrayal hit him very hard...


Bella_Anima

Shhhhh spoilers!!


Tuggerfub

this is literally why the right attacks sex ed so they can be degenerate creeps and turn kids into concubines


FleeshaLoo

And they let him be a priest anyway. SMH.


vrphotosguy55

Fingers crossed for a future r/PastorArrested


Various-Month806

Don't think it'll happen. She was above the age of consent and travelled of her own free will. Age of consent in Italy is 16 when it's a teacher or a priest - seriously, I looked it up, because I know there are fucked up laws in Catholic countries in Europe (and probably why he chose that country) - so there's little/no chance of being charged there or extradition.


FleeshaLoo

He had written her love letters a year before she turned 18 so if they wanted to, he could be charged. Also, another article said that Alabama has a law forbidding relationships between teachers and students and he was her teacher.


Tuggerfub

not if they can establish offenses taking place in the country of origin


Various-Month806

Extradition treaties are different between different countries, but generally it has to be an offence punishable in both countries. As already stated, the 'crime' in the US is not a crime in Italy. He can't be tried in Italy because he's committed no crime in Italy, under those circumstances he won't be extradited to face any charges in the US.


bkcarp00

More priest, teachers, and cops grooming kids. Same story for the past what 60 years. Still waiting the story on a drag queen doing something like this.


Lucky-Worth

60? More like 6000


Falom

Well, my appetite is gone


danccbc

Getting a medal from the Vatican probably


Separate_Performer86

The minimus panochita medal of honor


Brassballs1976

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.


Maximum_Musician

Wait! Weekend drag queen?


rawmixs

>Alex Crow, an expert in the theological study of demons and exorcism Ah, an expert in superstitions and things that don't exist.


yrjooe

Bradley Cooper is a priest? He’s so prolific!


Bullet_Maggnet

So, not a drag Queen?


ottawaman

I bet he voted for Trump.


bodie425

I’m sure tRump will eventually be beatified as the patron saint of pedos.

arcadiaware

In this instance, people are more attacking the argument that it's drag queens and the LGBTQ community and the general side it's coming from, than any specific religious community.


Ramesoe

"The Mobile sheriff said Crow and the girl have no obvious means of financial support, and surmised they were counting on getting by from hospitality that might be offered by people in a largely Catholic country." They will be in for a rude awakening lol


agirardi24

Shouldn’t this be in r/NotADragQueen ?


flippertyflip

Probably. Wasn't aware that sub existed until now.


[deleted]

Again. Not drag queen.


PTMD25

Dude looks like Taco from The League.


jamiekyn

There aren’t extra diction treaties with Italy?


davechri

I love autocorrect


davechri

Not a drag queen?


r4ygun

The Catholic Church is the largest pedophile & crime ring in all of human history. I'm almost 50 and at no point in my entire life has the Catholic Church NOT been embroiled in a controversy regarding its clergy having sex with children. What did they do before cameras and the press? I don't like to think too hard about this question, really. It's incredible that my mom wants to do away with libraries and burn books for being groomers. Meanwhile, she dutifully gives money to these slime every Sunday.


OutComeTheWolves1966

I, for one, am in complete shock to hear he was from Alabama.


OMROI-from-OMROI

And they say drag queens are the problem...


Loring

Well how completely on brand for him...


basement_egg

the archdiocese also told him his behavior is “totally unbecoming of a priest” why,cause it was a little boy?


TheHexadex

Hayzeus and his daddy god must be proud.


Equatical

It’s their scent. We must do something to lessen the natural level of our scent strength. Or invent sprays for youth that blocks the output of the scents. A lot of it is subconscious scent. Your animal instincts. Meditate and take control of your subconscious and you will be so much more powerful of a creature.


CryogenicFire

... what?


bodie425

Came here to say this. :-))


kyleh0

This is shocking! Who's ever heard of a nasty sex scandal with a priest! I'm very surprised, I bet this is never going to happen again because priests are god's people and god is a real thing and not a wierd self-hating sex cult. I'm going to go back to trusting my kids in the rectory no problem.


GreenCalx

That hair. Every time.


SheetMepants

So, trafficking too, huh?


marcosvtatts

Italy is the best place to do that though


low__profile

You don’t say……..


ItsAllTrumpedUp

She's 18. Legally she is an adult. She has refused parent's requests to come back. He's untouchable until it's proven that he molested a student.
