Italian priest under house arrest for child porn
An Italian priest accused by police of possessing child pornography is under house arrest, his lawyer told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Thursday, the second recent scandal to hit the northern Brescia diocese.
The 51-year-old priest was taken into custody last week, defense lawyer Paolo Inverardi told AFP, adding that a police investigation was ongoing.
News reports say police found approximately 1,500 photos and videos of child pornography on the telephone of the clergyman, who served as parish priest in the town of Castelcovati, west of Brescia.
The arrest comes just a month after another priest within the diocese, Ciro Panigara, was arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing minors.
In that case, the priest, 48, was accused of sexually assaulting children ages 10 to 12 in two parishes located between the cities of Milan and Verona.
In January, the bishop had announced to parishioners the sudden departure of Panigara, who had arrived just several months earlier.

Learning all the lessons from the Bétharram Catholic school child abuse scandal
A sitting prime minister explaining himself before lawmakers on one of the most pressing social issues of the moment, for more than five hours: François Bayrou's hearing before the Assemblée Nationale's inquiry commission on "the state's modes of monitoring and prevention of violence in educational establishments," on Wednesday, May 14, was anything but ordinary.
Admittedly, the extended dialogue between the prime minister and the MPs did not clarify all the ambiguities surrounding the scandal, regarding acts of violence and rapes which led to more than 200 complaints against the Notre-Dame-de-Bétharram middle and high school, a Catholic institution located near the southern city of Pau, where Bayrou was, and still is, the mayor. However, though the hearing, which was broadcast live, required better management, it proved useful and revealed the different layers of interpretation in this resounding scandal. It covered a politically awkward matter for the prime minister, who was accused of having covered it up at the time, when he was the president of the local departmental council and education minister. It brought to light the terrible silence that concealed acts of psychological, physical, and sexual violence committed in the renowned religious institution between the 1950s and 2000. Finally, it highlighted the lessons that must be learned today.

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"
