THE present and incoming archbishops of Glasgow were dragged into a
fresh row over the Roman Catholic Church and homosexuality last night,
after it emerged the former head of the college which trains Scots
priests in Rome was allowed to keep his parish despite a drunken
homosexual incident deemed "totally unworthy of a priest".Father Paul Milarvie was accused of "unwanted harassment" and trying
to "constrain" a male guest at his parish house in 2010, just months
after he returned to Scotland, leading to an investigation by the
Archdiocese of Glasgow. Milarvie, a friend of Philip Tartaglia, the next
archbishop of Glasgow, was allowed to keep his post by Mario Conti, the
current archbishop.
News of the case, which emerged at the end of a week in which
Tartaglia and Conti both spoke out against SNP plans to legalise
same-sex marriage, prompted claims the Church was hopelessly confused in
its attitude to homosexuality because it failed to reflect the reality
of human nature...

Wasn't Boy George jailed for 'trying to "constrain" a male guest'?
ReplyDeleteExcellent point!
ReplyDeleteThe judge gave him 15 months.
One would hope a gentleman of the cloth would not be given special treatment...

Who made any mention of Mark
ReplyDeleteWhy was this on the front page of a national newspaper?! No illegal acts and therefore no whitewash. It happened in 2010 and is reported in July 2012...in same week as new Bishop is appointed and gay marriage outcry. Sunday Herald has taken up mantle of News of the World and our community looks ridiculous. Boy George constrained someone by tying them up...what did this priest do to the guy?
