Catholic priest reprimanded for novel TMI Easter sermon declaring Jesus died with a stiffy
Did you say resurrection? The Catholic priest and the shock sermon
A Catholic priest in Co Durham has kept his job despite complaints from parishioners about the “vulgar” sermon he delivered over the Easter weekend.
Father Thomas McHale, the priest at Our Blessed Lady Immaculate in Blackhill, Consett, shocked parishioners when he took to the pulpit on Good Friday and told the congregation that Jesus had died with an erection. The local diocese investigated, and upheld a complaint into his conduct.
McHale, 53, who is from America, is understood to have told the congregation, estimated at between 75 and 100 Catholic residents of the former industrial village, that a result of the violent execution method of crucifixion was that blood would have rushed to his lower body.
A parishioner said that the comments were shocking. “He told people Jesus died with an erection,” they said. “The church was shocked. There were young families there.”

If he hasn't sexually abused anyone I laugh and laugh. I could even talk to this guy.

The article is not clear whether he used the word "erection" in addition to the description of the violence and physiology of crucifixion. Regardless, weird thing to bring up.

At least he's fantasizing about a dead man and not a live boy.

He was trying to be uplifting by letting the parishioners know Jesus Christ had a happy ending.

A spokesman for the diocese of Hexham & Newcastle told the publication: ‘A complaint was received and has been investigated in keeping with our diocesan complaints policy. The investigation has been very recently completed and the complaint is upheld.’

Why does anyone still attend mass? Who is still a practicing Catholic in 2024? We all know they're perverts, so anyone still playing along with their bullshit should expect stuff like this, quite frankly. Spare me your outrage.
