Maureen Dowd Gets to the heart of the Pervert Priest Scandal

[OnlyNatural]

Rev. James Brennan, 47, charged with raping a 14-year-old boy named Mark in 1996 in his apartment.

On a local radio show on Tuesday, Brennan — a priest suspended by the church in 2006 — said he was uninterested in a plea deal, and his lawyer continued to paint the accuser as troubled.

Brennan knew Mark from the time he was 9. When he was 14, the priest arranged with Mark’s mother for a sleepover. “Brennan showed him pornographic pictures on his computer, bragged about his penis size and insisted that Mark sleep together with him in his bed.” Then the priest raped him as he cried, according to the report.

Mark fell apart and attempted suicide.

There are just no words to describe my utter disgust... I grieve for the young lives destroyed by these monsters.
