I went to Catholic school, it was run by nuns, so I made it through unscathed mostly under the belt but above it I got ice thrown at my face one day and it might have left a little scar. I think it was unintentional and hidden in the snow or whatever. That hit close to home, but what is this defrocked guys name? Giving anyone weird unecessary authority or power seems to attract creeps who wish to use it to help in their predatory desires, dreams, goals, and addictions.
Anyone who wants to be the leader of a group or population and their guide should be suspect because its a perfect cover and opportunity for the criminal minded. It might even be more of a twisted turn on to take advantage of the naive and in a sacred role or context as well as an extra sort of fetish of profaning or whatever.
It sounds like he got in trouble for defrocking even before he was defrocked, but I may like to read about this particular criminal case, so if its allowed, do you have a link? If its linked I might have missed it somehow.
