(Reuters) - A Roman Catholic priest was arrested on charges he viewed child pornography in the rectory of his Pittsburgh-area church, the diocese said on Sunday.

The Rev. Bartley Sorensen, 62, pastor of St. John Fisher Church in Churchill, Pennsylvania, was arraigned on charges of possession of child pornography, a third-degree felony, according to the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

He was being held on Sunday in the Allegheny County Jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond, jail officials said.

Sorensen was arrested after a church employee walked into the rectory on Friday and saw Sorensen viewing a computer image of a young boy naked from the waist down, with the words "Hottie Boys" on the screen, police said. She alerted diocesan officials, who immediately contacted police.

Allegheny County detectives found pornographic images of young boys on his computer, police said. During an interview, Sorensen admitted to possessing at least 100 pornographic pictures of children, police said. He has not been charged with abusing children.

Accusations of child abuse and sexual impropriety against Catholic clergy in the United States have rocked the Catholic Church since 2002, and the church has paid out some $2 billion in settlements to abuse victims.

The pornography arrest also comes amid a series of separate scandals that have seen a steady march of men make abuse accusations in recent weeks against coaches at Penn State University, Syracuse University and most recently against a top official at the Amateur Athletic Union.

The Pittsburgh diocese said in a statement that Sorensen had been placed on administrative leave.

"The viewing of pornographic images involving children is a disturbing and criminal act," the statement said. "The Diocese of Pittsburgh is cooperating to the fullest extent in the investigation of this incident."

A priest for 35 years, Sorensen had been a pastor at St. John Fisher only for several weeks, having been previously assigned for nine months to St. Anne Church in Castle Shannon, Pennsylvania. His past includes an assignment as chaplain at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh.

The Rev. Ronald Lengwin, diocese spokesman, said the diocese had provided Sorensen with the names of several possible attorneys after his arrest but it was unclear who he had retained for the criminal case.

You got it exactly right!! WHat other kind of perv would do such a thing?

That is why I think you have it wrong. Your anger or dissilusionment with organized religion, motivated by your research on the criminal jews, was not resolved or addressed by claiming you are a satanist. That is beyond absurd.

satan, the father of lies, is a fallen angel (an angel which was created by God and who rebelled and was thus cast into hell).

Since satan and his henchmen devils hate God and goodness and honesty, decency, etc,. they work to trap people and trick them into doing evil.

Since I dont believe you love evil, then i dont know why you would call yourself a satanist.

However, I am sure you will say that all my definitions, the story i told, and the context of all this are incorrect and were all made up by those in organized religion whose aim is to 'control everyone'.

I've heard that for years. folks who claim that 'organized religion was merely a control mechanism thought up by the rulers to control everyone'.

rulers would not want people to be moral or righteous. they want people to be weak scumbags, which they are, which much further helps the controllers cause.

Its absurd only if you use the christian definition of Satan. They're a tad biased. For example, look up the word "daemon" and study it's roots. What does it mean? And why was the definition changed by the church?

I am a blood dedicated Satanist, precisely because of what Satan represents. You say that satan represents evil etc. Well, read the bible and see who is evil. It's not satan.

I find it interesting that some people that call themselves christians can rightfully rail against the jews and their actions, but they keep the jew 'god' and completely overlook that psychopathic 'gods' actions that are plainly spelled out in the bible. The kikes are only following that "gods" example.

rulers would not want people to be moral or righteous. they want people to be weak scumbags, which they are, which much further helps the controllers cause.

In my sigline there is a link that specifically addresses your point. Ingersoll says it better than I can. I'd only be reinventing the wheel.

People are NOT "weak scumbags". People are humans that are made weak by listening to preachers tell them how weak they are, and they actually believe them. If you're told you're a weak POS enough times, you will believe it.

Tell me, who is harder to control, a christian that doesn't even know the bible and actually refuses to read it, ALL OF IT, or a Satanist that questions everything, including authority?

A person doesn't need to afix a title of "satanist" upon themselves to question authority and rebel against injustice.

In fact, a person who does so is simply falling for the other side of the same coin.

To the "church", anyone who does these things IS a Satanist. Questioning authority and rebellion are serious sins.

There are people, christians, right here, that have much more in common with satanism than they do with christianity.

Plus, the kikes did not invent "Satan". Satan is a title, not a proper name. It's not the same coin. It's a different coin. What you describe is called "inverse christianity". That is not satanism.

well, for the record, I do not speak for the church when i refer to these pervs as satanists. I have never heard the church actually call these pervs satanists. many people do though, because these crimes are some of the sickest and worst one can imagine.

But generally, people who SIN are just that. sinners, or in the case of child molesters, they are pervs who deserve scorn and worse. because they are hurting innocents.

i call them satanists because i believe that is who inspires them to do these things.

In some extreme fundamentalist congregations, perhaps, but not in the average mainstream "church", at least not Catholicism.

Plus, the kikes did not invent "Satan".

If you mean the ancient Hebrews, well actually they named a LOT of "fallen angels" as well as the names of the archangels and lesser angels.

Satan is a title, not a proper name. It's not the same coin. It's a different coin. What you describe is called "inverse christianity". That is not satanism.

Wrong. Satan, in modern terms, is the name of an evil entity who is the "master" of all evil beings and deeds. Such a being is the personification of evil itself.

Whether or not there actually IS such a being is irrelevant.

It's like taking the word "nazi", calling yourself a nazi, and claiming that nazi really means someone who is kind of heart and loves cute fuzzy animals. You can't change the definition of a word just because it pleases you or suits your interests.
