'The Freethinker' article wrote:WITH no apparent evidence other than a photograph of Spanish priest Andrés GarcÃa Torres hugging a young Cuban seminarian, the Catholic bishop of Getafe has leapt to the outrageous conclusion that there is something gay about two topless men in a warm embrace.
The
article is a little snarky, but it's from an Atheist site...

Wow...just wow. I will admit that I initially thought that the photo did seem to lean homosexual, but then I saw that it was taken on a vacation...and then my brain snapped into focus: "Oh...bathing suits!"
People really need to investigate before making accusations...especially when accusations can be so damaging to a career.

Yeah, a lot of it has to be over-reaction to the bad reputation priests have gotten and the Church trying to CYA. As it were. But I really like the accused's reaction.
"Go on, measure it! Get in there real close and measure it carefully."

You know, a part of me hopes that they go that far...and that nature steps in and shows them how ridiculous they're being with a big wiff of yuck.

I feel justified in my wish since my puppy farted in my face this morning, and then looked at me like "what did I do wrong" when I shoved her away hollering and spitting.

The joys of pet ownership...
EDIT:
Had to go find it, but my Mother bought
this CD from a cut-out bin because of the cover...
