Latest weird, tawdry Catholic priest incident. Yet another red flag that churchgoers ought not avoid.
Quote:Catholic priest stuns worshippers by telling them Christ had an erection when he died on the cross in shocking Easter sermon
Father Thomas McHale, the priest at Our Blessed Lady Immaculate in Blackhill, Consett, County Durham, took to the pulpit as normal on Good Friday.
However, the 53-year-old, who is from America, is understood to have told the congregation, roughly 100 Catholic residents, that blood would have rushed to the lower body of Jesus as a result of the violent execution method of crucifixion.
A parishioner told The Times: 'He told people Jesus died with an erection. The church was shocked. There were young families there.'
Father McHale is understood to have not lost his job despite complaints from parishioners about the 'vulgar' Easter weekend sermon.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
